This morning we had a neighborhood 4th of July celebration. We all met in front of the Tillman's house. Jared Gorringe gave a speech, Andrea Reynolds sang The Star-spangled Banner (I want to be her when I grow up), Ray O. played reveille, and the scouts raised the flag. I cried. After the flag raising we had a little parade down the street - a small fire engine led the way, followed by decorated bicycles and pedestrians. We ended at a pancake breakfast in front of the Gorringes. Lots of people came, and I think everyone had a good time.
I am thankful to live in the United States of America. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than most of the other options in the world. I am thankful for the freedoms we enjoy.
God bless America. Please.
i love the way you write. i share your feelings about the 4th of july!
