What I love about the 4th of July is living in a small town and going to the high school football stadium every year and watching the fireworks.
For a small town (Moccasin Gap is only 7,000 people), we have a pretty big fireworks display, it last about 30-minutes or more. We get to see people we haven’t seen in a while and, of course, we eat hot dogs and hamburgers and corn on the cob and we go swimming in the lake and we spend time at the grand parent’s house.
It’s always fun and the expressions on my two boy’s faces when the fireworks go off is priceless. It makes me glad I’m off the road and can spend this precious time with them. It also makes me sad that I’m going back on the road.
We had a July 4th parade this morning, Grandpa always puts his car in it and we all get to ride. My two boys love waving at everyone lined up along side the street to cheer as we pass.
I don’t know how it is in the big city, but in small town USA July 4th is a special day. It makes you proud to be an American.
I don’t know if Obama is a proud American or not, nor do I know if he started his day kneeling to the western sky and praying to Allah, but around here, we started our day by putting up the American flag and thanking God for the men and women who haven’t been killed overseas yet and praying for the ones that have.
Be glad you’re an American. This is still the greatest country on Earth and hopefully it will continue to be.
