How about ham, eggs and pancakes at a local park served to anyone who came. Later, in the same park there were dozens of games and activities for hundreds of kids, food booths, activities and hot dogs, lemonade, corn chips and tater salad. Tonight, the city will light up with a big fireworks show. Small town stuff, but just great. I love America!
We lived overseas for 17 years and one of my greatest thrills was to see the American flag flying over our embassies. It may be just a symbol, but it's a great one!
