Happy 4th of July!

[redmarvel]

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Kind of ironic that a major American symbol was made in France.

I hope all Americans had a great day.

E Pluribus Unum!


I love me some America! And to celebrate here are a few of my favorite patriotic clips.


One serious. This is the guards at Buckingham Palace playing the Star-Spangled Banner for Americans after 9/11. Makes me cry every time.

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind. Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests.

​

Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.
And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:

"We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!"
Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!​

Happy Independence Day to my American friends.

In Canada, this is known as the day our big brother moved out of the house and we got the big room to ourselves.

[Godsfireworks]

a friend of mine once said, "we celebrate the independence of our country by blowing a part of it up." and no that's not a terrorist joke.

Happy fourth!!!
