By Sen. Jim Risch
Happy Independence Day!
We are blessed to live in the greatest nation in the world.
Our country was founded on freedom and forged by American ingenuity, grit, and courage. That spirit is alive and well in Idaho.
Idaho’s farmers, ranchers, loggers, miners, veterans, and small business owners embody the values that shaped our nation. Idahoans are resilient, hardworking, driven by faith and family, and fiercely independent.
The United States of America remains a beacon of liberty thanks to the brave men and women who have fought and sacrificed to protect our freedoms.
As we celebrate the Fourth of July with parades and fireworks, Vicki and I encourage all Idahoans to thank these heroes and their loved ones for their selfless service.
America is stronger than ever, and I’m committed to keeping it that way.
God bless Idaho, and God bless the United States!
