Happy Fourth of July
4 Jul 2006
The 230th anniversary of our nation’s independence is not only a great opportunity to barbeque, drink, and – of course – have a cigar. In unfortunate times of war, it’s also a time to somberly remember those Americans who are jeopardizing their lives in the name of the greatest country on Earth.
Lets all take a few moments today to give thanks for those brave patriots overseas. Whether or not you support the war, we can all agree to support the troops…and hope for their safe return.
Speaking of which, the photo is a friend of a friend who is currently working on predator drones for the military for Boeing in Iraq. He is seen here smoking a stogie with a gigantic sandstorm in the background. Pretty hardcore, eh? You can see all of his pictures here.
So while you’re biting into that hamburger, gulping from that bottle of Sam Adams, taking a puff from that Punch, and enjoying that splendid array of pyrotechnics in the sky, take a few moments and think of our countrymen abroad. They deserve a good cigar on Independence Day more than anyone.
