To celebrate the Fourth of July this year, I’m going to talk about Captain America, instead of the state of the country.

Okay?

Great!

One of my favorite things about Captain America is that everything special about him comes from his good heart.

He’s not the strongest guy when he’s introduced in the comics or the MCU, whatever you prefer. Steve Rogers is a good man who doesn’t like bullies.

He does the right thing for no other reason than because it is the right thing.

Steve would throw himself onto the grenade so everyone else could live. He will always be the guy who makes the hard choices.

Steve Rogers is Captain America, not because of muscles or some serum, but for the exact same reason why his successor has to be Sam Wilson.

He’s not wrong. He does the same thing Steve does, just slower.

Steve Rogers isn’t the corporate America.

He is everything the country is supposed to be. He is the first to criticize when they make poor choices, when the government puts itself first instead of the people. And he believes in the very freedom that gives him the ability to yell at the people in charge.

For me, I always think that Steve Rogers or the mantle of Captain America has to be someone who understands this quote, “The price of liberty is enteral vigilance.”

Unfortunately, I am honing in here on Steve Rogers because he was born on the Fourth of July, fun fact if you didn’t know.

That’s how America he is.

But the idealized version.

The ideals of freedom and allowing people to be themselves.

To be free of bullies and those who like to pick on the little guy.

Something he knows all too well how it feels.

For me, Captain America is like Superman. Or vice versa.

They are not special because of the powers. They aren’t important to the world because they can bench press more than any man.

They’re special and important because no matter what, they can’t sit by, and let injustice happen.

Superman is a favorite superhero of mine. Has been since I was little and the first Captain America movie with Christ Evans rivaled Christopher Reeve as the Man of Steel in Superman: The Movie.

Absolutely perfect.

Christopher Reeve made the world believe a man could fly.

Chris Evans made us believe that size doesn’t matter, only heart.

As the video above is captioned, the outside just finally matches his insides.

Captain America, Steve Rogers is someone we should all aspire to be more like. Maybe the world wouldn’t be in such turmoil.
