Script:
My fellow Alabamians –
Today, we proudly celebrate 249 years since our great nation declared its independence. And next year, we’ll mark the United States of America’s 250th birthday.
What a milestone. What a testament to the strength, the resolve and the enduring spirit of the American people.
Here in Alabama, we never take our freedoms for granted – because we know they didn’t come easy. They were earned and protected by generations of brave men and women, wearing the uniform of the United States of America.
We thank them, and we pray for every soldier, sailor, airman, marine and guardian defending our liberty.
Let me be clear – our country has the greatest fighting force to ever walk the face of the Earth. And under the strong, steady leadership of President Trump, America is standing taller than ever.
We are blessed beyond measure to live in the greatest nation this world has to offer. And as we look toward our 250th year, I’m more confident than ever – our best days are still ahead.
As we celebrate Independence Day, with fireworks, family gatherings and even parades – there’s something especially moving about seeing those stars and stripes wave proudly across porches and towns all across our state.
That’s the spirit of America – and it’s alive and well right here in Sweet Home Alabama.
May God bless our troops, the great state of Alabama and these United States of America!
