Independence Day
A busy holiday weekend. A time of cookouts,
get togethers
and fireworks.
Should be a time of pride and celebration. I know some people may not see it right now yet one thing we should have leaned about freedom is that is has to be fought for. It is not easy to get or maintain.
I want everyone out there to enjoy the weekend. No matter what one does or doesn't do, remember, we are all a part of this great nation.
So rise up children. Let your voices sing unto the world, Let Freedom Ring.
So I am setting this as a basic free for all. Post what you want, what you think, what you see. Video, picture, story. Post your pride!
What the...
For those that have not seen it, fireworks, by Ender and Co.
yeah... we can't do that or we might burn down for a third time in 4 months lol. '
Happy 4th everyone!
Now that is some serious property damage
I just now got that. Man I am slow....
The homes on the other side of the street separate us from the lake and the park
where they used to have fireworks and concerts but none since COVID.
We will have to settle for the PBS concert from Washington D.C.
We usually park on the beach. People all over the beach set off fireworks. Plus you can see the city firework shows. Usually two of them. The Biloxi one and the Gulfport one.
I am probably not going to do anything this year though.
We do our own
One thing if I stay at home, I will be stuck with the dogs. They hate fireworks...
What the hell....Hahaha
Oh my fucking god.... "I'm American, I speak American"
Did I really volunteer to sacrfice my life for some retard like that? I know it is the Onion but at this point I have to assume it is based on a real kid. Probably in Alabama.
No fireworks in northern arizona you assholes, I don't wanna have to deal with a 3rd wildfire in 4 months!
Will last forever as being one of the most iconic, brilliant, creative electric guitar performances of all time.
At the time, it was the musical equivalent of burning the flag.
Maybe so, but....
"O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave
O're the land of the free and the home of the brave?"
it did stick the fascists to the ceiling for a few years. they shit themselves if you had flags on your clothes too. I'm surprised a few of them here still don't mention it here...
Don't know how true yet interesting...
Some new and interesting facts for me, thanks.
That was at the suggestion of Ben Franklin, no?
I grew up in Indiana County,, PA. It got the the name from the town that a signer of the DI named for the Indians that lived there. That man was George Clymer. There's also a small town outside of Indiana that was named for him
Born here in MS and always visited and now live here yet I actually grew up in MD. During things like 4th of July, the neighborhood and families would all get together and throw like a big block party except held at different houses. We held them at our house a lot of times.
We got to run around and set off fireworks.
When we got older, we learned how to sneak beer from the kegs they use to set up.
Happy Fourth, all y'all
My favorite for Independence Day. John Adams doubting the vote will go for independence the night before the vote. The words to this song, comes from the actual letter that he wrote to his wife Abigal as this day approached.
If here now, John Adams would once again observe that Congress has done nothing for the last year but "Piddle, Twiddle, and Resolve".
A most excellent reply and he would be right!
What is wrong with google....
I remembered a clip of a kid that was standing and showing pride. It was like on the 4th or something. So I typed into google kid showing pride and every single response that was up was about gay pride.
So then I typed kid showing pride on the 4th of July and it still only showed gay pride.....
A childhood memory.
