Happy Birthday, America!!
I'd like to wish my beloved nation a very happy birthday. This day, 136 years ago, the Declaration was ratified by a group of really brave people, ready to give their lives (and many did) for freedom. Today, the principles of that very same document are safeguarded by another group of really brave people ready to give their lives for the defense of freedom. I refer mainly to the United States Armed forces. I can't help but notice many here on this forum have military backgrounds. To you, I say, Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. From ALL of us.
