Celebrating the Fourth

July 3, 2009

Birthdays. Normally, it is a time of celebration for whomever happens to be the one celebrating another year of existence. It is a time of honor and a short period of prestige for that person.

There still are many who realize what July 4 means, but then there are others who view it in the wrong light. You may even have heard some grumbling because the holiday has fallen on a Saturday.
