Happy 4th

Happy 4th of July to everyone.
I wish I had the song by Lee Greenwood "Proud To Be An American" because I am.
I got to see Mr. Greenwood at Ft Bragg when we were stationed there. The concert was on a huge parade field. Everyone was just sitting around, stretched out on blankets or chasing their kids and pets around, vaguely listening to the music until they announced that he was coming on stage.
This was just after the first Gulf War when our men and women had left with no warning and come back home safely.
When Lee walked up on the bunting covered makeshift stage, you could have heard a leaf drop.
The first few notes of the song had barely started when everyone was on their feet, yelling, "Hua," waving their American flags and then singing the song, too. Babies were on their Daddies shoulders, kids were waving flags and we were all very "Proud To Be An American."
Happy 4th of July, everyone from sea to shining sea!
