Happy 4th of July

To Our American Friends

Happy 4th of July

 

“The Star-Spangled Banner” is the national anthem of the United States. The lyrics come from “Defence of Fort McHenry”, a poem written on September 14, 1814, by the then 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. Key was inspired by the large U.S. flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, known as the Star-Spangled Banner, flying triumphantly above the fort during the U.S. victory.

Have a great day.

America and Americans really know how to do things right.

Without America the light of our world would surely diminish. God bless you.

Through two world wars, your valour and your sacrifice have not gone unnoticed. We do appreciate you.

Sad and tragic but the Union stood firm and came through…stronger and free.

And finally:

Beautiful land, beautiful people, beautiful spirit.

America? Thank you for being there.

Have a great 4th of July.
