The big War was back in the 1770's-80's.
We celebrate what they fought for then every year, on the 4th of July. It's a big holiday, and one that is of the utmost importance to us. Yet it seems to me, that it is us old folk that understand what the fourth is all about.
You can also remember that second War in 1812-14. That put the exclamation mark on Independence !
Well kiddo, if you can put the beer down for a moment, I'll give you the history lesson. In a word Jack, it is "Freedom !"
Think about it, and what it means. It's worth fighting for, and taking a stand. So for Today, step up and hoot and howl. Just know that, without Freedom, you wouldn't be able to cheer they way you are. Think of it when you attend some protest march or attend a football game.
Have a good holiday everyone !
