I've been greeted by about a dozen Americans, both in person and on the phone, with only one wishing me an enjoyable INDEPENDENCE DAY. The remainder referred to tomorrow as THE FOURTH. We don't refer to Christmas as "the 25th" or New Years Day as "the 1st". When we think about or talk about tomorrow, please try to remember it represents our INDEPENDANCE and wishing enjoyment to you and yours.

Hear! Hear!

Fly your flags proudly, gentlemen.  Despite what some may think, the flag of the United States of America flies over ALL Americans.  Enjoy the freedoms our forefathers and fellow Americans have provided to us for the past 243 years.
