We are celebrating our country's freedom today! A lot of lives were lost then and in all the other wars we were involved. Let us now forget WW I, WW II, Korean War (we are still involved there) Vietnam War, and now our long involvement with Iraq and Afghanistan. Thank you troops of USA!
This is a good time and place to mention that America's separation from the English crown was aided (and instigated) greatly by the Welsh who sailed to America, so I am posting this from Wikipedia :
On a plaque mounted on the east faade of the imposing Philadelphia City Hall , the following inscription is found:
Perpetuating the Welsh heritage, and commemorating the vision and virtue of the following Welsh patriots in the founding of the City, Commonwealth, and Nation: William Penn , 1644-1718, proclaimed freedom of religion and planned New Wales later named Pennsylvania. Thomas Jefferson , 1743-1826, third President of the United States, composed the Declaration of Independence. Robert Morris , 1734-1806, foremost financier of the American Revolution and signer of the Declaration of Independence . Governor Morris, 1752-1816, wrote the final draft of the Constitution of the United States. John Marshall , 1755-1835, Chief Justice of the United States and father of American constitutional law.
Happy fourth to you and yours cariad.
