An older, senior, veteran friend of mine scolded me once for saying
Happy 4th of July instead of Independence Day. He said that saying
"4th of July" was just repeating a date but saying "Independence Day"
made us remember our freedom and the people who fought for it at home
and abroad. It did make me rethink how important an anniversary it
really is.

I am wishing you all a great, fun, and safe day (future pharmacists missing finders due to fireworks mishaps would not be "a good thing").

Strange fact: Did you know that both John Adams (our second President
and Founding Father) and Thomas Jefferson (our third President,author
of the Declaration of Independence, and Founding Father) both died the
exact same day: July 4, 1826?

(I was a History major so I eat this stuff up : ).)

Happy Independence day to everyone also! The 4th of July is definately a time of reflection. I wasn't much a history buff in school, but now I LOVE watching it. yesterday I watched a documentary on George Washington! All the battles he lost, all the men who died and froze to DEATH to keep this country from the Brittish. Soldiers walking in winter snow leaving blood trails because of having no shoes-IN WINTER. No food at the fort so they ended up boiling their shoes to eat and survive. Other ate BARK from trees! I am forever grateful..... And they kept marching on for the sake of America! Those old battle stories are really good to watch. Everyone should count their blessings on this day! Thanks to the All the military from past to present for our independence.
