The horseman run as if kingdom come was after him, most were asleep as he yelled..." The Brits are coming!!!, the Brits are coming"..as people began to realize what was happening they walked out into the dawn and slowly realized they had to face the facts once and for all..........They did!!!...

God Bless the United States of America.

As one of your neighbors still struggling to really be free I salute you Americanos del Norte and pray that the --deviation taking place in your country-- is just like a storm which makes much noice and some destruction, but like one, the winds reside and the wide blue sky is lighted again--

No one can really stop Freedom for there are always horsemen ready to do their duty....

PS. Every Fourth of July I remember the freedom I always felt while living in that wonderful land of yours..... SALUD!!!!!!!
 
Well it would seem that plans to reintegrate the USA back in to the British Empire have failed miserably due to the economic recession...so what the heck:engel016:
Happy, soon to be, the 4th of July:applause:
 
I was thinking today how three of my grandparents migrated to the US from Europe, and how they must have felt when they saw Lady Liberty there welcoming them. What a powerful message.
 
Thank you Gera for those kind words.

Roger, y'all may have lost a colony, but you have one helluva vacation spot now:icon29: The welcome mat is always out for our British cousins:ernae:

Nice sentiment Scratch:ernae:
 
Thanks, Gera. Just last month, my wife and I paid our yearly visit to New England. While there, we visited Lexington and Concord, just outside the city of Boston, Massachusetts. This is the place where Paul Revere's ride came to an abrupt end.

Standing on the old North Bridge, across which the first shot of our revolution was fired, was a moving experience. Such a beautiful, bucolic setting for such a terrible and momentous event. I wasn't surprised to find that everyone else there seemed to be from some other country--sadly, Americans seem to have lost interest in their own history. Thanks for thinking of your American friends as we celebrate our 233rd birthday! :ernae:
 
Well, given that some 30 or so % of the US citizens are of German origin (if memory serves me well) makes it kinda a celeb day over here, too.
Wishing you well over the big pond and have a grand day!:ernae:

Here, here, completely agree. :USA-flag:
 
Thanks Gera,

Awesome words man.

The ForeFathers fought a huge battle. The movie 'The Patriot' with Mel Gibson really shows you the way of the times back then, from politics to their way of life, even how mail was sent back then.

Incredible and horrific what they went through. Think of it. Farmers against the biggest country on Earth. The British Empire was so huge, the sun never set on its shores.. (It had locations around the globe).

I often wonder.. If the King of England would have dealt with its colony better, if anything like that would have happened.

God bless America! :USA-flag:

ThankX Gera.. Our countrys founding was an incredible chancy idea..and that was let the people have more freedom to do stuff than any country ever--that meant way less red tape and a national government that its ony purpose was to defend that idea and let people loose to invent,start buisnesses and become the best as they could be and of course make BIG money at it without govornment interference made us the (U.S.) work harder at it for the reward..The result was the greatest prosperous country the World has ever had.. Of course now the only thing that is growing is govornment--red tape and all--see you in the funny papers- or a salt mine...:stop:
 
Happy 4th to you all at SOH! have a great day and better night! :USA-flag: :USA-flag: :USA-flag: :USA-flag: :USA-flag:

First off let me say Happy 4th of July to all of our cousins across the pond.

Now, Lionheart - "The Patriot" accurate? Its one of the most inaccurate so-called historical films made. It ranks along side "Braveheart" - complete cobblers but entertaining.

I'm not disagreeing but could you point to something that is accurate if you think that movie is not, I'm just curious and want to know history accurately because if we don't, we will fall into the same traps and I see it happening everyday right now. Thanks. :ernae:
