The Fourth of July. Although usually surrounded by picnics, parades and fireworks in the evening I have spent many holidays to include the Fourth of July away and usually on a Combat deployment. If you have read OMV before you understand how the warrior feels when he misses a holiday especially while he is deployed. We get over it but yes it sucks.
The Fourth of July is one of those holidays that not only celebrates our independence it honors the Red, White and Blue of America. More flags come out, a spike in patriotism is seen. I have to say though with stories of having the words “God” etc withdrawn from speeches at military events, and flags being denied to be flown is a bunch of hose shit. If you want to change our basics of America how about you pound sand. Go to another country and change it, America is America and if you don’t like it, leave. If you don’t the American flag, leave it. If you don’t like what we have in America there is a border to the north or south, feel free to get on the other side of it.
