Have a safe holiday weekend everyone. Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.

Happy 4th everyone!
Remember if you're protesting on the 4th against the 4th because some of the founding fathers had slaves, and you want to tear down their statues and monuments, please wear a mask. A mask that will help all Americans stay safer in a country whose Founding Fathers laid the groundwork for you to be able to protest against them. “Don't give up. Don't ever give up.” - Jimmy V

It is great to be able to celebrate our freedom from colonial rule, but we should all remember that even though we "declared" our independence on July 4th 1776, we weren't really independent until we finished a brutal war over FIVE YEARS later..

I AM THE FLAG
I am the flag of the United States of America. My name is Old Glory. I fly atop the world's tallest buildings. I stand watch in America's halls of justice. I fly majestically over institutions of learning. I stand guard with power in the world. Look up and see me. I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice. I stand for freedom. I am confident. I am arrogant. I am proud. When I am flown with my fellow banners, My head is a little higher, My colors a little truer. I bow to no one! I am recognized all over the world. I am worshipped - I am saluted. I am loved - I am revered. I am respected - I am feared. I have fought in every battle of every war for more than 200 years. I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appamatox. I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy. Guam, Okinawa, Korea and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me. I was there. I led my troops. I was dirty, battleworn and tired, but my soldiers cheered me and I was proud. I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets of countries I have helped set free. It does not hurt for I am invincible. I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and trampled in the streets of my country. And when it's done by those whom I've served in battle - it hurts. But I shall overcome - for I am strong. I have slipped the bonds of earth and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon. I have born silent witness to all of America's finest hours. But my finest hours are yet to come. When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded comrades on the battle field, when I am flown at halfmast to honor my soldier, or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter, I am proud. I am the flag of the United States of America

I'm celebrating by cooking, combining my heritage
Grilling some steaks US style and making a traditional british apple blackberry pie and boiled potatoes. It's heritage, not hate.

I had smoked baby back ribs, fried green tomatoes, corn on cob, and baked beans. All of which was washed down with pure American Coca-Cola from a can.
I chose to eat foods to celebrate the only heritage that matters to me, the Red White and Blue Murican heritage! “Don't give up. Don't ever give up.” - Jimmy V

I'm more for celebrating the Constitution, but articles like this one stir some patriotism in me on this holiday: https://www.cato.org/blog/king-george-iii-or-donald-trump-reading-declaration-independence-2019
