Comments on: Happy Birthday America! http://gypsyjournal.net/blog/2009/07/04/happy-birthday-america/ Fulltime RV Travel In Our Winnebago Motorhome Tue, 17 Jan 2012 23:45:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: CoolJudy http://gypsyjournal.net/blog/2009/07/04/happy-birthday-america/comment-page-1/#comment-4429 CoolJudy Sun, 05 Jul 2009 18:54:17 +0000 http://gypsyjournal.net/blog/?p=2299#comment-4429 We happened to celebrate 4th of July in Alberta, Canada where the American flag and the National Anthem were sung at the Calgary Stampede to honor all the Americans in attendance. On Friday, we sat among many RVers (clubs and caravans) in the bleachers at the Stampede Parade. Whenever an American flag passed, the groups all stood and removed hats in respect for the flag and what it represents. What was even as memorable was that whenever a Canadian (or other nationality) military unit passed, these same Americans stood to honor those military men and women (and even a youth cadet squad). Made us feel extra proud to be an American.

My concern with the future of America is definitely more than "playing". I have always been proud to be an American and am concerned we are loosing the freedom that so many have sacrificed so much for. Joyce, I have never considered the American flag a toy.
