State Representative Jim Buchy
Celebrating Our
Independence
Much has changed for our nation since gaining our independence in 1776,
however one thing that hasn’t changed is the pride and patriotism that
Americans have for living in the greatest country on Earth.
Not only are we lucky enough to call the greatest country home, but we
are also able to call Ohio home, a state where pride and patriotism are
rooted deep in our Midwest culture. As Ohioans, we embody the
definition of American; hardworking, selfless and unwavering in our
love for our country.
These qualities can also be seen throughout our men and women in the
military. Without these American heroes, we would not be able to
celebrate our nation’s independence 240 years later. Countless brave
military members have fought to preserve our Ohio values that we hold
dear, something I am always reminded of every Fourth of July.
Our founding fathers also embodied the true meaning of being an
American. They demonstrated courage and determination by fighting for
their principles; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Because
of their fight, these American principles continue to endure as the
bedrock of this great nation.
From our founding fathers to our military veterans, to the Midwest
spirit found right here in western Ohio, we all have a deep love and
admiration for our country in common. I am incredibly thankful to live
in this nation and to represent the best constituents and American
citizens as your state representative.
This year, I hope you are able to share my enthusiasm in embracing our
American patriotism. Whether you are celebrating right here in western
Ohio, or travelling to be with loved ones, I wish you and yours a very
happy Fourth of July!
