Happy Independence Day (America)

Theresa · **Wed Jun 28, 2006 2:52 pm Happy Independence Day (America)**

Liberty

Here in the harbor, made famous by her very existence,

Stands a lady, polished by a new American pride...

And her name is Liberty.

She holds a torch ignited by the flame of love,

And from her raised hand and her gentle eyes

She offers a blessing of reassurance with silent lips:

"Give me your weary, your dreamless, your hopeless,

Those who have lost faith in themselves and our country.

Send these, the embittered, to me.

I am living proof of what a nation of people can do,

When they believe, when they commit, when they join hearts.

I lift my torch beside the door that remains open,

A golden opportunity for all who enter,

When the hope is peace

And the reason is freedom for all."

~Judith A Lindberg

Happy 4th of July, everyone.

Happy Independance day ... I, as usual, will be having a rather large party with my cousin and all of her neighbors and my family and my boyfriend. And her one neighbor does professional fireworks in his field ... its always cool. What is everyone else doing?

All right! The best holiday! Uh oh, I have to go buy as many fireworks as I can in the next couple of days. The best stuff is illegal though...

People are lighting off fireworks all around my house and my puppy is cowering downstairs trying to dig a hole in the ground to hide in. Nice fireworks, poor puppy lol

Well, awesome fireworks continue to parade the streets. I've also been watching some specials on T.V. so it's great!

Be safe,

All right! I just finished. The "Patriot Missile System" was awesome

My sister took pictures of our fireworks. If she sends me them I might post some. If they're good.

I would like to contribute my best sentiments to every American here on STV.Com !

A most joyous and responsibly celebrated 4th of July wish to all of you !

I thank this country everyday for granting me the freedom to speak freely for my beliefs, for giving me the courage to do so, and for re-igniting the love I have for the life I am blessed to live.

Cheers !
