Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day everyone.  I normally don't say Happy 4th of July... because... well... every country has a 4th of July.  It's just ours means something special.  Take the time to remember the cost of the freedom which we declared today, and the continuing cost of that freedom... perhaps best spoken in our own Declaration of Independence:

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of the divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

And although I may acknowledge your right to burn our flag... if I see anyone doing that... especially today... I will be exercising my legs to get one of these, and use my freedom of speech to use it.

"It's just ours means something special."

Apparently it also means something special to some Iraqis.

Here is the last paragraph:

And allow me, one very grateful Iraqi on this day, the 4th of July to congratulate all Americans on their independence day that I truly celebrate with them. It's not just out of gratitude but also because I believe it's more than an Independence Day for America, for by being free and independent, the American people gave so many other nations their independence, and thus I see it as an independence day for all the free around the world. Happy 4th of July America and thank you for all your help and sacrifices, not just for us Iraqis but all free people that you helped them get their freedom, and thank you for being the symbol of freedom that gives hope to all oppressed people around the world.
