Being American Today

By David Walsh on July 4, 2008

Today is July 4th which means Independence Day for us living in the States. As a proud American, I'll be doing the following today:

Thank you to veterans and current members of our military for allowing me to freely do all of the above.

Happy Independence Day!

Anyone else have fun plans? Share them!
