Thank you for respecting the country and honoring 4th of july. I know it's not a super popular position to take nowadays and it's really great to see. I love this country and my family on both sides have served in several wars. I love seeing their sacrifice and service honored.

These are the times that try men souls. The summer solider and sunshine patriot will in this crisis shrink from service to his country but it is he who stands now that deserves the love and respect of every man, woman and child.

-Excerpt from Thomas Paine, the crisis written to raise moral during valley forge.

Mad respect to all our female service members and service K-9s as well. Have a happy holiday.

I am not american but I like your thoughts, I didn't know 'valley forge' and the mentioned Thomas Paine's book. I'll try to find the book and read it.

Thank you for this post ; I ve had Family memebers in every War since WWII ; I even have one on "The Wall" in DC from the Vietnam War. The sacrifice every man woman and child has made is something to honor and cherish.

@alpan Oh? well thank you for the interest another favorite quote of mine is by Patrick Henry (a famous american orator from the same era): "Is life so dear, peace so sweet that it must be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God! I know not what course other men may take but as for ME, give me liberty or give me death"

What country are you from if I may ask?

@annismyrph :D. Oh man I saw the replica wall when it was on tour, as my dad was in 'nam, it was like 20 years ago but I still remember, it's insane. Thanks to your family :x

@alpan oh cool, so much history there.

@annismyrph - really small world :)
@boredaf - yes you are right and we were quite lucky since WWars didn't destroy the country. There is still a lot to visit.
