July 4th




We had a good day, celebrating togetherness and this great country we live in!

Interesting thoughts on patriotism:

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to appose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else." [Theodore Roosevelt]

Happy Independence Day USA!
