Remembering on Independence Day
I was going to write something inspirational for Independence Day, but instead, I found this at Auterrific, a great blog run by Linda, a CQ reader who often disagrees with me here. However, her post today reminds us that even though we may all disagree with each other on politics, we are all still Americans, and we stand together in the last instance.
Thoughts For The 4th
I could have posted something profound.
I could have posted something fun.
What I am posting, is a request that when you are enjoying all of your barbeques and swim parties today, that you take a moment to remember those who can't.
The recently beheaded...they won't be with their families today.
The people in the twin towers...they won't be with theirs either.
The people in the flights that went down in the Pentagon and PA...nope, not theirs either.
The countless soldiers who have given their lives for the war in Iraq and to keep our country free so we can enjoy those steaks on the grill, and the fireworks that will be so spectacular this evening...they understood how important this all was, but alas, they will not be with their families either.
In remembering them...remember that either willingly or unwillingly, they did it for all of us...democrats, republicans, moderates or libertarians.
They did it for LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
Be sure to visit Auterrific and give Linda thanks.

That sucks. Ya wonder who lets these people out without their keepers. How many hundreds or big city, thousands of people, and some doofus figures he'll set off fireworks of his own.
Glad you were able to reassure her and continue, otherwise next year would be tought!

Went to a friend's house who has a view of Commencement Bay (in front of Tacoma) so we got to see thousands of fireworks. Not to mention my friend had about $150 worth of fireworks himself, as did every single one of his neighbors! He lives right next to an Indian reservation and fireworks are cheap! They're also illegal inside Tacoma city limits, but oh well!
