    Saw this on FB and like it....

    The American flag does not fly because the wind moves past it. The American flag flies from the last breath of each military member who has died protecting it. American soldiers don't fight because they hate what's in front of them...they fight because they love what's behind them. Support our troops this Fourth of July!

    Have a happy and safe 4th everyone!

    My ode to American:

    Yeah my skin is tan but for the USA I'm down,
    And so I may hate you cuz your White, Black, Yellow, or even Brown,
    But as long as you take pause when the flag is raised,
    Show proper respect and make sure dues are paid,
    I aint got a problem with whatever you do,
    Just don't fuck with me and I wont fuck with you!

    Could you please say that slower?

    After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.

    Happy 4th!
    That was lovely. How about Robert Frost:

    He is that fallen lance that lies as hurled,
    That lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust,
    But still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust.
    If we who sight along it round the world,
    See nothing worthy to have been its mark,
    It is because like men we look too near,
    Forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
    Our missiles always make too short an arc.
    They fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
    The curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
    They make us cringe for metal-point on stone.
    But this we know, the obstacle that checked
    And tripped the body, shot the spirit on
    Further than target ever showed or shone.


    Happy Fourth to Dave, who returned home from Iraq this week - from his fourth tour - Thanks for your service, Dave! And a prayer for Andrew, being deployed to Afghanistan soon - Godspeed Andrew!
