Celebrating 250 Years of Freedom, Opportunity, and Innovation

By James Stovall • July 16, 2026
Happy Independence Day, America! As we celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday tomorrow, I am filled with deep gratitude to live in the greatest country on Earth. Two hundred and fifty years ago, brave founding fathers risked everything they had so that future generations could enjoy the blessings of liberty. That legacy still inspires me every single day. My father and both grandfathers served in our military to protect our way of life. In my own family and in the Scout pack I lead, I make it a priority to teach respect and appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy. I have been fortunate to travel the world through my work and have seen many wonderful countries, yet despite the amazing international friends I have there is not one country would I trade for the United States. There is simply no place like home. Recently I had the honor of representing Georgia at the US AI Congress in Washington, DC. Starting my mornings with a run past our nation’s monuments reminded me how fortunate we are to stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. I love our freedoms, our ideals, and the unmatched opportunity we provide to every citizen willing to work hard. America has driven a huge share of the technological and business innovations that have improved life not just for Americans, but for people around the globe. From internet technology to pharma breakthroughs we are changing the world for the positive. To my fellow Americans, let us not take any of this for granted. It is easy to focus on our challenges, but I encourage everyone to look at this country with fresh eyes. The recent wave of World Cup visitors has reminded us how much we have to celebrate. Watching them light up over our grocery store aisles, air conditioning, world-class stadiums, free drink refills, BBQ, tailgating, and even a local Waffle House has been a joyful reminder of tiny things that makes this nation special. Today and every day, I am proud to be an American. Let’s honor our past by building an even brighter future together. Here's to another 250 years! God bless the United States of America!
