Every Independence Day is an incredible day in an incredible country. Some people always want to look at the downside. But, we are still a shining beacon to people around the world and I am proud and humbled to live in the United States.
We live in a small town in North Carolina; okay it used to be a small town, now it is a Raleigh bedroom community. In any event, they still decorate the 1914-vintage main street with flags and have a family celebration which includes a parade of children on their bikes. It is great to live in a place that appreciates being Americans instead of the self-loathing that we see when we visit family in Boston, New Jersey and Philadelphia. Sucks to be them. Great to be here!
