Today is the day a lot of us drink, blow shit up, get sunburned and socialize. (for those who have to work today, sorry). Let's also not forget the men and women who are still in the shit overseas and the men and women stationed in places where they cannot properly partake in the events of the day. They continue to fight for us to be able to do stupid shit on this special day.

:patriot: :patriot:


Also, on this day, in 1776, 'Merica adopted the Declaration of Independence, giving the middle finger to Great Britain.

The Preamble of our Declaration:
Quote:
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, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.


Figured a few of you would like that little ditty.

Hey, Canada gave Great Britain the middle finger, too...in, ermm, 1982. Which is when Parliament got around to drawing up a Constitution. Seriously, though, happy Independence Day, all!

Happy Independence Day. :patriot:

I was going to say more, but I don't wish to be a bummer and ruin the festivities.

Thanks, Dan, for the reminder of the Preamble. Funny - it has a lot more meaning to me when I read it now! It is no longer boring - now I get a visceral reaction of "Yeah! Damn straight! Folks, we need KNOW these documents."

Today when I was telling my boys about today's holiday, I found myself refusing to call it "Fourth of July". No, it's not just a date. It is our Independence Day.


Went to the parade, taught my boys how to show proper respect to the flag as it went by, talked about the veterans as they went by. Passing on our history and heritage. :patriot:
