ONE love, blood, life
For you FYM Americans...
What does 4th of July/Independence Day mean to you? What do you usually do to celebrate it? What makes it meaningful for you?
I went to a HUGE outdoor gathering tonight that my town does every year. The Philharmonic orchestra plays pieces by American composers, and the city does a massive fireworks display (which even outsiders admit rivals displays in NYC, DC, and Philadelphia). And while I did think about the war and my grandparents who are veterans and the like, I mostly thought about how nice it was to see thousands of people all getting along and digging being American, political divisions aside, for one evening.
How about all of you?
