[captskillet]

[m10bob]

Here,Here!

[Canoerebel]

A toast to July 4, 1776...but what do we do about July 4, 1863?  On that ill-fated day, the Confederate garrison at Vicksburg surrendered, and the Army of Northern Virginia pulled back from Gettysburg.
 
Ah, well, even us Rebels can't complain about the outcome of our li'l ol' Civil War.  Happy Independece Day!

233 years old... And you guys don't look a day over 217. Mazel Tov![;)]

No BBQs for me as it's winter here, though it's springlike weather for an ex New Yorker.

Well, you could learn that in term of Republic, you're older than much of the european country. I think some of the "younger" in europe are Nederlands and France (not sure, so please don't take offense if i am wrong). In a kind of way, United States of America show the way to "old" european countries.

Younger in years, not in spirit! Besides, let's not forget how many French troops where there with Rochambeau and the Compt De Grasse! They too shared in the creation of our republic! While France would wait a short time for it's own republic, we owe them a great deal of thanks for ours! Sop Viva La France! And thank you! [&o]
