A Happy 4th of July To Our US Members!

Since many of you will probably not be online tomorrow, I'd like to take the chance now and wish you all a happy 4th of July! I hope that you will all have a great day.
I'll have a beer on your great nation tomorrow!

And a happy Thanksgiving to our UK members! {duck}

My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.

Glad some people outside the borders appreciate it. Now if only more inside it did the same (especially some elected officials, but let's not get political). To all who defend(ed) it, to who all who embrace what this nation is (and, in many ways, was) all about - .

And may God bless America. {thumbsup}

Naturalized American here. Thanks for giving me a home and the opportunities to realise a dream. I'm proud to be English, but I'm also proud to be American.

Hey thanks Stefan.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!! I'm proud to be an American, and I feel truly blessed for the opportunities I have thanks to this country and all the brave men and women who fought and are fighting for her. I can't thank you all enough.

Have a safe and enjoyable July 4th, and God Bless America.

I saw this the other day and thought it was pretty good...

I am an American.

I have a right to freedom, prosperity and a devotion to my country that cannot be
crushed by any earthly being. I have the right to fight for what is right and against
what is wrong. I am willing to make sacrifices to make lives better for others.

I will not settle for the least that I can do. I will always strive toward a greater goal,
a greater self-being and greater reverence to God. I will celebrate anything I want
and will not be crushed by any tyrant or fool who thinks he can overrun me with fear.

I have a right to prosperity, and I will fight for that right. Even if the world crumbles
around me, I will stand strong through the darkness and lead others to a greater
place. Whether that place be on Earth or in heaven, I will stand for my colleagues.

I will go on sedately until I can no longer stand. Anon, this happens, and I will be
ready for it when it does.

I will not fail. I will not fall. I have the reverence of God and the strength of my spirit.

I am an American.

Just got back from our community fireworks - excellent show. Especially the few duds that managed to start a small fire near the launch site.

At home in the PNW and loving it

Burgers and pie. Mmmmm! Apple pie, cherry pie, and lime meringue. And playing with fire afterward. Woo!

We live in a galaxy far far away and we STILL have to connect in ATL.
