Happy Independence Day to my Fellow Americans!

[prberk]

I am leaving tomorrow for Myrtle Beach. (Yeah, I know -- just in time for the tropical storm!) But I wanted to wish everyone here a safe and happy Independence Day, no matter where you are. The founders said to mark July 4 as a day of celebration. July 4, 1776, marked our Declaration of Independence, and a hard-fought war ensued; but our freedom was established. Freedom is hardly ever free. And while we celebrate and remember our hard-fought freedoms in this country, I wish and pray for it among people around the world who cannot say the same.

Happy Independence Day to you as well! This is a thoughtful post you put together; and you're right—freedom is not free. I think we need to be reminded of that, from time to time. Anyway, I hope you have an enjoyable trip to Myrtle Beach, and the weather turns to sunnier skies, and comfortable temperatures. Enjoy.

Bumping this up to remind us that despite its many faults and quirks, America is still a pretty great country. Let the barbecues begin!

We should all go to England and petition the Queen to the back the colonies. How come all the firework shows on TV have horrid music? It's like gag me over this bad music and forced patriotism
