JOHN STOSSEL: It wasn't force that made America great. It was freedom.

PRESIDENT TRUMP honored American history and heroes ranging from George Washington to Martin Luther King Jr. during a rousing Fourth of July speech.

Speaking before a cheering crowd that repeatedly erupted in chants of “USA! USA!,” Trump hailed US innovations in science, medicine and space exploration during his 45-minute “Salute to America” speech on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

The Independence Day address ... was the first by a president on the Mall since President Harry Truman spoke there during the Korean War in 1951.

The president recounted episodes from the Revolutionary and Civil wars, as well as the suffragette and civil rights movements — and praised the “American spirit that emboldened our founders” and “runs through the veins of every American patriot.”

“It is the spirit — daring and defiance, excellence and adventure, courage and confidence, loyalty and love — that built this country into the most exceptional nation in the history of the world."

I hope you watched it as I did.

GIVE TANKS FOR OUR LIBERTY: U.S. Armed Forces are defenders of liberty, not tools of oppression.

ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, it is fitting to turn to the Declaration of Independence for the key to America. It lies right in that powerful statement:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

America is an exceptional nation because it is founded on an idea more than on a group of people.
