Celebrating the 4th of July

dove-direct-blog-Celebrating-the-4th-of-July
Welcome to the Dove Direct Print and Marketing Blog. Today's post, "Celebrating the 4th of July," takes a moment to wish everyone a safe, blessed and happy July 4th, Independence Day Celebration in remembrance of the struggles this country underwent to achieve sovereign nation status. The long arc of history depicts how the ultimate idea of justice for everyone, including all nations, eventually comes to fruition. And for that, we celebrate that long arc of history that produced freedom for the United States and honor those who endured and fought to bring democracy to American soil. Hence, we honor, remember and salute those who sacrificed this July 4th Independence Day Celebration.
  

Our Quote of the Day: "So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring." – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Celebrating Carefully 

All Americans treasure our national accomplishments. To that end, it's in our DNA to take time out and celebrate those accomplishments, as they are part of our traditions and societal norms. This year, it would also be wise to understand that there is a life-threatening menace rampaging across the country, and this monster of a disease is an equal opportunity killer.      

COVID-19 is void of selecting victims by age, geographic location, immune system status, or any other human condition that exists in this country. And as we venture out to celebrate this holiday weekend, we must consider how we can keep ourselves and others safe. Here are a few useful guideline tips to follow according to the CDC and Dr. Anthony Fauci:


  • Wear a mask at all times when out of the home, especially when enclosed in rooms, halls, and convention centers, or any area where folks are in close proxy to each other.
  • Practice social distancing at a minimum of 6 feet. However, recent scientific studies state that 12 feet or more are the best distance to avoid infection via conversation droplets, commonly referred to as "aerosol."
  • Outdoor events have proven that just being in the sunshine will not deter one from becoming infected. Several athletes, beachgoers, politicians, protesters, activists, actors, news reporters, and others who have ventured into crowded, outdoor events have become infected. So, be very cognizant if you are planning to attend a significant outdoor event. The disease is airborne.
  • Wash hands regularly, even if you feel you already did so two hours ago. 
  • Carry water with you, and be sure to drink a bit every 10 minutes if attending an outdoor event. The medical community suggests that it takes about 15 minutes for the virus to enter the lungs once it is prevalent in the throat area. 
  • Goggles and Face Shields are recommended for attending any large gathering, whether inside or outside. 
  • Avoid speaking with people up close for any extended period.


It is also critical to understand that more than 131,000 souls lost to this disease, proving that it is not a joke, a conspiracy, fake news, or a made-up story. The virus is real. Consequently, all of our fellow citizens should focus on how we can help slow the spread of the virus.  
 
Former Presidential candidate Herman Cain was hospitalized yesterday after attending the Tulsa rally. Mr. Cain is in our prayers, as well as anyone who is in the hospital as a result of becoming infected with this unknown pathogen.

Therefore, as we celebrate this national holiday, we should also salute our first responders, ICU specialists, doctors, nurses, medical personnel, surgeons, virologists, vaccine professionals, epidemiologists, and all who are on the frontline and elsewhere battling this pandemic.

The Net-Net

As we strive for freedom of equality, economic fortitude, and a healthy, safer nation, we can be thankful that we have enough patriots from every walk of life and every ethnicity. Many of these brave citizens are believing and striving for changes for the betterment of all. Have a wonderful and safe holiday celebration. Thanks for reading "Celebrating the 4th of July."
