Hi Tracy,

Happy Independence Day to you and yours. :)

>OK, we may not agree on many issues but the United States is a diverse nation made up of dynamic people. Each year on the 4th of July, Americans celebrate freedom and independence. Via the internet we are learning about people of different nations and cultures which hopefully will bring understanding and knowledge that can benefit people all over the world. I hope everyone around the world will one day enjoy the freedom we enjoy not only in America but in all countries with democratic principles. For those that enjoy it now and for those that may enjoy freedom in the future in all countries, Happy Independence Day everyone!
