Happy 236th Birthday, USA!

Jul 03, 2012 22:57

For those of us here in the USA, it's Independence Day and time to remember what it is that makes us the country we are. 236 years of being an independent nation of self governing citizens for whom, certain basic rights are enshrined in the foundations of our government-life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To be sure, it hasn't always been smooth sailing, but we're still around and wiser for the trials we have faced. Here's to many more years of self governence and prosperity!

To our friends in the Dominion of Canada, a happy (if belated) Canada Day!
