Happy Birthday America

This is my favorite commercial ever created in the genealogy industry.  I love the concept and the execution.  In less than a minute, Ancestry.com managed to remind us of the importance of unity and freedom.

This great experiment that is America, survives and thrives by our willingness to be united in supporting the freedom and rights of every human being.  I hope our experiment continues for generations to come.  I hope this lovely commercial can serve as a reminder that there is always more that unites us than divides us.  We are stronger when we are one.

Happy Birthday America.

 

Thank you Ancestry.com for reminding us what we celebrate on this day.

  1. Thanks for posting this, and for adding your lovely words. Happy Independence Day to you and your family (and indeed your country).

  2. Such a moving video. Happy 4th of July! Thank goodness for this great, crazy, diverse, flawed, and wonderful country we live in.

    1. I’m glad you enjoyed it. It really is wonderful, isn’t it? Even when we are so torn with all of the divisiveness, I’m really grateful that we are free to disagree. (Although I certainly wouldn’t complain about increased civility.)
