Independence Day

The 4th of July

Kids Speak for America Independence Day

Independence Day, in the United States, the Fourth of July, a time when family and friends are getting together in celebration with pool parties, picnics or a day at the beach. An evening filled with excitement and fireworks. For many children this day is a highlight of their summer vacation as they will soon be returning to school. Many adults thinking as it as a long weekend or a day off from work. Unfortunately many among us do not know what we are celebrating on this historic day.

Why We Celebrate Independence Day

July Fourth in the U.S., commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies were now  the United States of America, a new nation and no longer part of the British Empire. These original 13 colonies had formed a country that would become the greatest, strongest nation the world had ever seen.As we celebrate,  remember that the 4th of July is not just about fireworks, picnics and kids having fun. Each of us needs to reflect on the freedoms we have and what we must do to keep the United States of America free.

Independence Day

This Schoolhouse Rock video titled “Fireworks” features a song of the same title written by Lynn Ahrens. Kid, teenager or adult you will find this independence day song performed by Grady Tate to be catchy as we learn about this 4th of July holiday and our Declaration of Independence.

Lonely Soldiers During Thanksgiving

Seth W. 1 Comment

Our country is in turmoil and as kids we sometimes worry when we watch the news with our parents and see all that is going on around us. We can be so thankful to our older brothers and sister, cousins, aunts and uncles and family friends that serve in the military to protect us and our country.

Every Thanksgiving I think about the soldiers stationed across the seas and others prepared to fight for us should they be called to do so. I feel sorry for them spending their Thanksgiving in a submarine or battleship, in aircraft or trenches behind enemy lines. I think about the lonely soldier and military sniper who never see friendly people near them and are unable to talk for if they did they may get shot. I am sorry you can’t spend time with your family.

This Thanksgiving and everyday, each of us needs to think of these men and women and when we see them give them a thank you and a hug for all that they do for us.

OoRah to all of you for your service to the country.

Ideas for Improving American Public Education

Guest Writers and Submissions Leave a Comment

American students receive a top quality education but there is room for improvement. The 2009 international test administered by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and called the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) showed that American students ranked 31st in Math, 23rd in Science, and 17th in Reading when compared to student test takers from 65 countries. The test requires critical thinking and reading comprehension because the questions in all three areas involve word problems about real situations. The mediocre results suggest that American students have opportunities to improve test scores. [Read more…] about Ideas for Improving American Public Education

Pearl Harbor Attack Remembered

Seth W. 1 Comment


The Pearl Harbor Attack took place t 7:55 am on the morning of December 7, 1941. Under the command of Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo of the Imperial Japanese Navy, 165 planes attacked Pearl Harbor. This attack on Pearl Harbor led to the United States entering into World War II.

In his now famous address, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt said about this Pearl Harbor attack, “a date that will live in infamy.”

Some kids and adults that visit Kids Speak for America may have a great-grandparent, grandparent or other relative or family friend that may have served in World War II.

Some of your grandparents or people you know, may have been in Hawaii at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States of America.

Some of you have been in Hawaii and had the opportunity to visit the USS Arizona War Memorial.

For many kids Remembering Pearl Harbor will be a new experience as you watch this video. For others it will help you Remember Pearl Harbor.
