It's all about FREEDOM: the

Gosh Folks, THINK about what the 4th of July is all about!
According to WIKIPEDIA: "In the United States, Independence
Day, also called the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday celebrating
the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776."

This country was founded because people wanted the right to be
able to express themselves!
I am glad that we have so many people supporting our military,
and I do too - I am ever so grateful for those who protect all
of us. None-the-less, we also have to respect the rights of others
to speak for their beliefs too.
The theme was "INDEPENDENCE" wasn't it?
