Even tough I wasn't born in the US, I really love the Holiday of July 4th, especially because of the patriotic sense behind it.

| My Grandpa gave me this buttom 15 years ago. At that time I would never imagined that I would come to the US for Grad School. |
We enjoy the parades, concerts, fireworks and food!

In honor to this beautiful Nation, where my son was born, I'll post the following song that always brings tears to my eyes:
America the Beautiful
Words by Katharine Lee Bates,
Melody by Samuel Ward
Melody by Samuel Ward
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Let's celebrate 4th of July!!!
Happy Holiday!!!
May we all honor the men and women who fight for our freedom in this country by putting their lives at risk daily. That, is what American Freedom is truly about :o)
