Comment from Senator John McCain on this 4th of July weekend
.
My Friend,
.
Nothing in life is more liberating than to fight for a cause greater than yourself, something that encompasses you but is not defined by your existence alone.
.
As Americans, we will gather with friends and family this weekend to celebrate our nation's independence. We are very fortunate to live in a nation that grants us freedoms that many of our fellow world citizens are not granted by their home countries.
.
I believe Democracy is a cause worth fighting for, as evidenced by the milestone Iraq celebrated this week. Transfer of power is rarely easy, yet building a democratic government and liberating a nation from tyranny, while often difficult, is a sacrifice worth making in the end.
.
This Fourth of July, I ask that you take a moment to reflect on what it means to be free and how truly liberating it can be to serve a cause greater than yourself.
.
Sincerely,
John McCain
Chairman, Country First PAC
