4th of July is a day that has a family connection to my hubby. One of his ancestors was in-law to 3 of the signers!

That, and a buck might buy us a cup of coffee, but it makes it more real to me to realize these weren’t just icons, but real flesh and blood people....like us, who cared enough to do something.

So we should care enough to do something.

Donate, folks!

See the way she walks down the street?
Watch the way she shuffles her feet.
May she holds her head up high as she goes walking bye.

And she throws her hands out so fast.
And shes not just one of the pack.
My baby always the one to try the things theyve never done.
And just because of that theyre saying:

Shes a rebel and shell never be any good.
Shes a rebel cuz she never, never does what she should.
And just because she doesnt do, what everybody else does.
Thats the reason why I can give her all my love.

I’m the kid that’s all the candy,
I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy,
I’m glad I am,
So’s Uncle Sam!
I’m a real live Yankee Doodle,
Made my name and fame and boodle,
Just like Mister Doodle did,
By riding on a pony.
I love to listen to the Dixie strain,
I long to see the girl I left behind me;
And that ain’t a josh,
She’s a Yankee, by gosh!
Oh, say can you see,
Anything about a Yankee that is phoney?
I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy,
A Yankee Doodle, do or die;
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam’s,
Born on the Fourth of July.
I’ve got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart,
She’s my Yankee Doodle joy.
Yankee Doodle came to London,
Just to ride the ponies,
I am the Yankee Doodle Boy.

Father’s name was Hezikiah,
Mother’s name was Ann Maria,
Yanks through and through,
Red, White and Blue!
Father was so Yankee-hearted,
When the Spanish war was started,
He slipped on his uniform
And hopped upon a pony.
My mother’s mother was a Yankee true,
My father’s father was a Yankee, too,
And that’s going some,
For the Yankees, by gum!
Oh, say can you see,
Anything about my pedigree that’s phoney?
I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy,
A Yankee Doodle, do or die;
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam’s,
Born on the Fourth of July.
I’ve got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart,
She’s my Yankee Doodle joy.
Yankee Doodle came to London,
Just to ride the ponies,
I am the Yankee Doodle Boy.

WISDOM

The whole problem with the world
is that fools and fanatics
are always so certain of themselves,
but wiser people so full of doubts.

A woman in California writes...

As some of you may know, one of my sons serves in the military. He is
still stateside, here in California. He called me yesterday to let me
know how warm and welcoming people were to him, and his troops,
everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands, and thank
them for being willing to serve, and fight, for not only our own
freedoms but so that others may have them also.

But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at
yesterday, on his ay home from the base. He said that ahead of several
people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when
she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the US flag lapel pin
the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the
pin, and said proudly, "yes, I always wear it and I probably always
will." The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going
to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.

A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm
around my son's shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm
and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: "Lady, hundreds of thousands of men
and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could
stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR
countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own
country, we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now
learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a
ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess
in YOUR country t! hat you are obviously here in MY country to avoid."
Everyone within hearing distance cheered.
