*Wave your Flags*

Happy
Fourth of July! 

I hope you all have a lovely fourth, with lots of fireworks, festivity, and remembrance of those who still give their lives to keep our country free. We're going to have a barbecue, and possibly dye some drinks red, white, and blue. Nothing like being patriotic AND festive, right?

God bless, and have a blessed, and wonderful, Fourth of July.


Red for hardiness and valour, duty done with greatest honour,
White  for clean, no stain to start:  pure and  innocent of heart.
Blue that to    justice    we'll adhere:     vigilant  to   persevere.
On  the field   are fifty stars, flanked  by thirteen   shining bars.
Fifty  stars  for  fifty states,  bound  by  what  the  flag  relates.
Flanking them, in red and white, thirteen stripes recall the fight.
Freedom    won,   declared today.  May God bless the U.S.A.!
