America celebrated its 239th birthday on July 4, 2015..
It
was on that day in 1776 that America’s founding fathers signed the Declaration
of Independence marking the birth of the United States.
As
my American friends celebrate, I wanted to share this quote with you,
from Erma Louise Bombeck, who was a talented
American humorist who achieved great popularity for her newspaper column that
described suburban home life from the mid-1960s until the late 1990s. I think she captured one of the great truths about this great country called the United States of America:
“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July
4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House
in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw
Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may
think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.”
May
my American friends have much joy and happiness this Independence Day
All
my best,
Valerie
