Jul. 4, 2007 - Happy 4th!
Independence Day, 2007
The last few weeks of the freshman (plebe) year of all midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy is one of the hardest times of their lives. Here, all they've learned in the last year comes together in rigorous training, sea trials, and tests before they can officially become sophomores. Training to become the future officers of the Navy and Marine Corps, the midshipmen proudly remember the fact that they are doing this for their country. One midshipman wrote on the back of his shirt,
"I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles that made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America."
As you go about your Independence Day celebrations today, please remember these words. Remember what (and Who) America was built upon--what made our country so great. May God bless America.
