Independence Day

Posted on by

We don’t celebrate the ‘Fourth of July’. We celebrate Independence Day.

Speaking of…nothing can possibly more Murican than this:

A bald eagle was freed from a tree by a patriotic Army veteran, who spent 90 minutes firing 150 shots into three branches ahead of the Fourth of July holiday.

Jason Galvin, who did two tours in Afghanistan, was on a bait run on Thursday when he spotted the eagle dangling upside down from a rope it got tangled in, according to KARE 11. 

Galvin estimated the bird was hanging from the tree about 75 feet off the ground. It had been there for more than two days.

  2. I always make a point to say “happy Independence Day” in response to a person who wishes me a “happy 4th.” Much in the same way I say “Merry Christmas” in response to “happy holidays” unless I know the person to be Jewish, in which case I’ll wish them a happy Chanukah if that’s not over yet.

    We aren’t out celebrating a day of the month of July. We are celebrating the birth of our nation and the extraordinary risk of the Patriots in declaring independence.
