2nd Annual Viking Kittie Lightning Strike
self | 7/1/04 | self

Freepers Everywhere,

Welcome to the Second Annual Free Republic Lightning Storm (VKLS 2.0) – an online display of natural and man-made fireworks and patriotic images – in anticipation of the Fourth of July and the safe return of all of our Servicemen and women on tours of duty around the world.

Most every community in America celebrates the Fourth of July with Fireworks in some fashion. Free Republic is an on-line community and this tradition should be no different. That’s why we decided that the Free Republic needed it’s own on-line Fireworks display to honor America, Freedom and those who sacrifice to protect it.

We hope you enjoy this tribute to the United States of America…

And may God bless our brave troops, their sacrifice has saved the world. This Independence Day, remember how the Embattled Farmer has marched on.

From Bunker Hill, to Gettysburg, to the Argonne, to Bastogne, to the Chosin Reservoir, to Khe Sahn, to Kuwait City, and now to Baghdad.

Freedom has inevitably followed him, and he marches on.

Oh god, it's here already.

Forgive me, I don't have as many pics as I did last year. The weather down here has been terrible; we've had to shut the computer down quite often. I picked out some good lightniing ones, though. I'll repost some fireworks from last year. Again, sorry, I hope I earn my keep!

In honor of my C17 pilot buddy, who I'm pretty sure has been shot at a number of times while "downrange".
