Continuing the Independence Day Celebration…
The American Revolutionary War had already started earlier on 1775. This was due to the British government being deeply in debt and the colonies disagreeing that they should be forced to pay the expenses of prior wars (including the 7 years war). Dec 3, 1775, in the harbor on the western shore of the Delaware River in Philadelphia, the first “Grand Union” Flag was hoisted by the American rebels on the colonial warship Alfred. The Grand Union Flag contained 13 alternating red and white stripes, which represented the 13 colonies, however, the upper left corner did not have stars but the flag of Great Britain. Not everyone agreed, but the colonists that did, determined that fighting for their independence was worth the sacrifice of war. It was not an easy uphill battle to defeat Great Britain. In our personal lives we all face challenges in reaching the goals we set for ourselves. We may have a lot of uphill battles. However, we should be willing to make the sacrifice to climb that hill and reach our goal. Keep fighting, keep grinding, keep showing up, keep accelerating. Strive for something great.
