Happy whatever everyone. t:
So yeah, today, the good old US of A turns 231 years old. Which by most accounts is still a youngin' as far as nations go...in fact we're really just a young teenager if you compare to our older brother the United Kingdom, our cousins France, Germany, and the rest of the EU
Technically, the United States is one of the oldest nations in the world.
Well, the US government has been around longer than some of the current governments in Europe. The World Wars did quite a bit of damage to the old regimes.
True enough. Much respect to the other nations of the world.True, but while regimes come and go...a nation is not merely it's government (thank goodness) the nation, and the people that comprise it are still there.
True enough. Much respect to the other nations of the world.
But this is our day. That means it's our party, and only the cool nations are invited.
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!" We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
And Bruce Campbell for Secretary of Defense.YES! BILL PULLMAN FOR PRESIDENT!
