“As you can see, America has had many adventures in 250 years. It’s clear that God has blessed our nation. When we pray, we should thank Him for allowing us to live in such a free country. We can do our part, too. We must elect leaders who honor God and will work to keep America free and safe. So let’s make a birthday wish for the best country ever – the United States of America!”
