well i'm not overly patriotic, but i have a deep seeded respect for our service men and women and what they do on a daily basis to ensure the freedom and the safety of this country.

i just want to say a big thank you to all the vets we have on this forum and throw an even bigger thank you into the cosmos to the soldiers on the front lines right now for their service so that there may be bbq's and beer-b-q's and pool parties and beach side bonfires today.

thank you one and all.

i'll show my gratitude by drinking as much as i can, eating as many hot dogs as i can, and trying not to drown as i sloth around in a pool for hours on end.

happy fourth of july.

 

Agree 100% To me, the 4th is now a time to reflect on how good this country used to be. We have been sold out and continue to be sold out at an alarming rate. Special thanks to you veterans and the current active duty personnel for your sacrifices. Oh ya, and a heart felt FU@K YOU to the politicians and progressives that are ruining this country.

 

Unfortunately, July 4th to most Americans is just another day off of work and the day for picnics and blowing stuff up.

I do want to say thank you to all of the vets that served before me and another thank you goes out to all the guys serving with me over here today.

Oh and on a side note, it's also me and my ol lady's 1 year anniversary so i guess that makes it important too.

God Bless America and thanks again to everyone who made this country what it is today.

 

A veteran is someone who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and incuding their life.

 

this year it should be a reminder to all to:"REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER"

 

As has been said "Freedom isn't free" thank GOD we live in the USofA.

 

Well, I'm italian, but happy 4th July to all the american forumites!
Be safe with the firecrackers!

 

It is a celebration of the world's greatest democracy. While we have problems and some things may suck, it sucks less than any other place on earth. Our veterans have allowed us to hand down democracy from generation to generation. It is a reminder that democracy is no further away than one generation from extinction. Apathy is a big threat to our way of life. So is liberalism and this politically correct BS that plagues our society. Happy 4th America!

 

That we forget what was paid for and had to be repaid for through time. That too many today have not even forgotten but seem to never have learnt.

Freedom.

 

Today, here in Afghanistan, our team rode Chinese motorcycles around the firebase 5 times, one lap for each fallen brother. As we went by the British compound we honked the horns and reved the motors as loud as we could. Didn't see them come out all day. Tonight- fireworks. Big, big fireworks.
