Happy Birthday, America


Last night, as is our usual practice, the wife and I stood on our second-floor lanai and watched the fireworks being launched from Magic Island, just outside of Waikiki.
It’s our little way of paying homage to the annual birthday of our United States of America on July 4. Sometimes we watch it from someone else’s home, often times, it’s from our upstairs lanai.
As usual, the aerials were stirring and heart-thumping, but what they really did was serve to remind me that this is America, that this is our land of freedom, that the celebration should truly be joyous and heart-felt.
And it was, and it always will be.
