Independence Day


Merlin Orr

Recommended Posts

To my many American buddies, Happy 4th July, and I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable time with your families and friends.

The 4th July has special significance for me, because that's the date I started my first own business, so it's my Independence Day too :)

Thanks Merlin! Saint, sinner, or both. (which is usually the case) :P

Hey, try this: Say, Fourth of July. Now say, Independence Day. Detect the subtile change in presentation there? I stand a little straighter, like it's 1776 and I'm declaring it all over gain.

I've always been in the habit of saying fourth of July. This year I'm going to start saying In-de-pen-dence Day, with a bit of pride. Like: "In-de-pen-dence Day?"

Or maybe with a glance at the distant horizon and hallowed reverence in my voice for those who fought and died: "In-dependence Day"

Anyway you say it, remember this was the day we told the 1776 equivalent of the UN to stick it where the sun don't shine........and fireworks ensued.

Oh, that it would happen again!

Sam. Your response shows a little deeper thought than I had first put into this...

I like and appreciate your thoughts.

Very nice!
