In his Independence Day message Victor Davis Hanson summarizes again what these pages seek to communicate about our country.  As you celebrate today, think of how exceptional and blessed is America, and that we, who are lucky enough to be its citizens, are entrusted with passing ‘it’ on to our children and their children.  What is that ‘it’ that you want to pass on intact?

And here’s a poignantly humorous video essay about our flag delivered by a much younger Robin Williams that will also pull out some deep thoughts about the meaning of America.

    Do progressives/socialists celebrate the 4th of July?

    I will be adding more sets to this collection, including one dedicated just to the shots of the Tea Party Patriots, as it was one of several larger groups present. The Dems, the Greens, and the Libs (Libertarians) were out there too. For our special person here I caught the flyby.

    And now there are more, and the first of the videos, just testing that technology.
    I’m now up to 363 images from the parade, and there are yet many more to come. NEO will be the next upload, and the videos require overnights for uploading. http://www.flickr.com/photos/keachie/collections/72157626993596879/
