Happy 4th of July!!!

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
-Abraham Lincoln
The Gettysburg Address, 1863

My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!
-Thomas Jefferson


Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all!
By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.
John Dickinson


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.
-Erma Bombeck
