Word of the day – Independent
Independent:
1. Politically self-governing
2. Free from the control of others: self reliant
3. Not affiliated with a larger group or system
4. Not committed to a political party or faction (an independent candidate)
5. Not relying on others, especially for financial support
6. Providing or being enough income to enable one to live without working
A great speech, as quoted in the movie Independence Day:
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!

Wishing you and yours...4 footed and 2...a very happy 4th !
Have a great 4th of July Lisa Von Domek
But for the few that will stand and be counted, we would be without independence
Morning Lisa.
For those who are born in this country and complain, let them move to another one for a few years. Once they come back, they will love it as I do. Have a safe and wonderul 4th
Good morning, Lisa... loved your "take" on the the subject of independence. Very thought provoking. Happy Independence Day to you.
Good morning Lisa. Living in the greatest country on earth, love it or leave it! So many would turn to love. Enjoy your day
Hello Lisa - it may be a day later but the sentiment is the same - best regards for a wonderful holiday.
