HAPPY 4th. of July ! *Independance Day !!!*

Happy Independence day !!!!

Up here in the little town I live in, They love parades, and have one every chance they can. and the car clubs from the area are always encouraged to bring there Hot Rods and Restored cars to attend,.. We usually always see the same cars in every event,... but the crowd loves to see them. especially the kids.

Do any of you attend or participate in any parades during the year with your cars ? Anyway,... Happy 4th. of July to you all !

 

Great pix! Happy Independance Day!

...always remember, it's not how big your flag is, or even if you own a flag, or how loud you can sing our national anthem, for maybe you you can not speak at all, or who has a lapel pin, or whether you even own a coat with a lapel. Those are not the things that make you an American. Those are just outward things that are noticeable. Anyone can accomplish most any of that and not be an American at all.
It's not any of that.
It's the belief in the "Bill of Rights", the "Cons***ution" and the true respect and honor that you have for those who had the courage to do what they did when they fought and died to be independent from tyranny.
They fought so they could worship as they pleased or to not worship at all.
They fought to have "free speech" or not to speak at all.
We all should remember and admire he wisdom that they had to be able to sit and write such do***ents that still are the foundation today that we derive our freedoms from.
I remember a few years ago here on the HAMB, one fellow wrote on a thread just like this one, something like...."We are the most patriotic State in the Nation because the flag at our State Capitol is even bigger than the one that they fly at the Capitol Building in Washington DC".

Good grief...that sort of mentality just begs for this nice person to sit, read, listen and digest how we truly became a Nation and to better understand that this day is the day we celebrate out Nation's birthday It is not a contest. It is a day of reflection, being grateful and being with loved ones to honor and pay tribute to those who were so wise and those who were so courageous over the past many, many, years.
Remember, the little shriveled man who sits alone in a rest home who has no flag, no lapel pin, and no voice left for which to sing, may very well be a man who fought at the "Battle of the Bulge" or in the jungles of the Pacific.

So..............to all my HAMB friends and to all of America and Americans all over the world, past and present,.....
"Happy Fourth of July". __________________

========================================

and, yes, our town has a wonderful parade every year on the 4th.
In fact in 2 1/2 hours from now, so I have to get moving.

HAPPY 4TH JULY!!! To all you 'Old Colonials'!!!!

 

Happy 4th to everyone on this site, a great bunch of guys!

Allen in Pa,

 

Happy Independence Day!

 

here in Arizona ,,,,, is the first year that it IS legal to buy fireworks .........
BUT ,,,, because of all the fires ,,,,,, IT IS Illegal to set off ANY kind of fireworks.......
hefty fines AND jail time if you set them off .... W.T.F. ????????
firework stands are averaging $50.00 a day ,,, and cost them $300.00 a day to have stand ,,, tent cost ,, rent shipping container ,, pay help ... plus cost of the fireworks ..
hows that for being industrious and having a dream ??
kind of like making it legal to sell drugs ,,, then giving the consumer life in prison ...

 

let's not spoil this thread by complaining....
