    Now this is the way we celebrate the 4th of July as Americans, not with division, not with hate, but with love and respect and with song the stirs our very souls. This is why we need to take our nation forward instead of dragging it back to darker days. This is the kind of celebration that I signed a contract for my life to the United States as an 18 year old US Marine, not for the cesspool that now swirls in our nations capitol.

    This is my anthem, when I saw The Greatest Showman in cinemas and this song it hit me so hard but in a good way I've never cried so much at a scene before. Keala sings it so elegantly and so amazing and outstanding. This song is about acceptance and accept people for who they are and never ever change not for no one. For people out there that have people that will tell you that you need to change, simply tell them to go get stuff you are beautiful just the way you are.
