  • Happy Independence Day

    O beautiful for spacious skies,
    For amber waves of grain,
    For purple mountain majesties
    Above the fruited plain!

    America! America!
    God shed His grace on thee,
    And crown thy good with brotherhood
    From sea to shining sea!
    O beautiful for pilgrim feet
    Whose stern impassion'd stress
    A thoroughfare for freedom beat
    Across the wilderness.

    America! America!
    God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
    Confirm thy soul in self-control,
    Thy liberty in law.

    O beautiful for heroes prov'd
    In liberating strife,
    Who more than self their country loved,
    And mercy more than life.

    America! America!
    May God thy gold refine
    Till all success be nobleness,
    And ev'ry gain divine.

    O beautiful for patriot dream
    That sees beyond the years
    Thine alabaster cities gleam
    Undimmed by human tears.

    America! America!
    God shed His grace on thee,
    And crown thy good with brotherhood
    From sea to shining sea.

        Yes. They had some in Addison last night, which is supposed to be the 3rd best in the U.S.

            Can Ben even hear the fireworks? I guess he won't find out this year.

                You wouldn't know that, but yes.

                  It's the best secular holiday since Christmas!

                  If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

                    The best secular holiday is Thanksgiving.

                      No, it's Christmas. Thanksgiving involves in-laws. QED.

                        I saw fireworks last night in Dubuque, Iowa with two of my siblings and some of their friends.

                              I'm sure you can feel fireworks.
