Today we celebrate America’s Independence Day and I want to begin by wishing you the best day ever..after you read this of course!

Considering the above photo, can you imagine how those victorious soldiers must’ve felt when replacing that British flag with a new American one?

It makes me proud…very proud to call myself an American.

Years back, I was visiting with a friend of a friends in San Antonio who had recently married. We met his new beautiful bride from Guadalajara Mexico and found ourselves sitting in front of The Alamo eating snowcones when this gal started bashing America saying (more…)
