Happy Independance Day

[rake60]

Well it's the 4th of July once again.

Happy Independence Day to all of out USA members!

With my wife being Canadian we also celebrate Canada Day.
That's an easy one for me to remember because it also happens to be
my birthday. :

That cross over of nationalities brings some interesting thoughts to view.
An American History book written by a Canadian author states:
"The colonies won their Independence from English rule by war with the
help of the French. It could be likened to "Me and Daddy killed a bear." "

A Thank You to France for your help is also in order for this day.

Thanks for the good wishes from all the "former owners" (good one, John) and the citizens of other countries. Seems like July is the month for breaking loose - Canada Day, Independence Day and Bastile Day.

BTW, I took the liberty of changing the thread title so independEnce is now spelled correctly. I know most people don't care about spelling anymore but somehow, as an American, it seems wrong to misspell that one.
