What does the 4th of July in America mean to you?

it means a day off

It is a day to remember that freedom is something that should not be taken for granted. We must not become complacent about what this country has been built upon. It was not given to us, but it can slip away in a blink of an eye. "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." ~Howard Zinn

well my grandpa lost his leg in the war and it means a tribute to him for me and all the people i think of that fight for independence. so i took this picture today and i show my mom and top her i wanted to put it by his grave somehow. she wants to frame it and were gonna put it there with a silk rose. picture: http://i32.tinypic.com/34otwkg.jpg

The Fourth is a time for remembrance and reflection for me. I still marvel at how a band of colonial rebels bound together by a commitment to democratic principles and a zeal for liberty, managed to successfully gain independence from the pre-eminent political power of the eighteenth century. The Fourth should be a time of civic celebration and renewal. We should all reflect on the sacrifice of our Founders, take the time to familiarize ourselves with the text of the Declaration of Independence, and recommit ourselves to upholding the ideals expressed in that document.

It is an other day off! and a longer weekend than usual. It is a day to be with our families, make bbq's and drink Mexican beers!

I think about the Declaration of Independence, and how everyone should read that incredible document... I think about the 1st American Revolution, and how grateful I am that a rag-tag bunch of colonists were willing to sacrifice everything in order to free their families and their descendants from oppressive totalitarianism... I always think of those who signed the Declaration itself, knowing that it would amount to a death sentence for them, and their families, should their revolution fail! I think about the solemnity they must have felt as they resolved their plans of leading the ill-equipped colonies into full-scale war against such a formidable opponent. The 4th is a day to remember our duty as citizens, as the last line of defense against a tyrannical government. May we remain always vigilant! Celebrate your second amendment, buy a rifle tomorrow when the stores re-open. You might thank yourself when the economy begins to implode in another couple of months.

Praise be to Our LORD!!! happy 4†h bro†hers and sis†ers hoo love this flag of God! http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndceu/AmericanFlag.jpg may Allah (swt) bless us all and may America live long and prosper!!! In God We Trust. amen. Gloria in Excelsis Deo!!! (((sharp salute proper)))!!!

It means that their are six days until payday.

Freedom,I think what our Founding Fathers gave us,how they went up against the more powerful British,and won.How they suffered,but would not give up.All for freedom.
