| And by Birthday Girl, I mean America. Not the flag. |
One of my favorite things about America is our flag. I love photographing it and seeing it wave when the Star Spangled Banner is played. I like to hear it snapping on windy days, resilient and alive.
One of the greatest things about this country is that you have the ability to burn the flag in protest of your government. While I consider it sacrilege to do that, you have to admit that living in a country where it is legal to do so is amazing. I also love that while you'll have your fringe flag burners here and there, you have eleventy billion people who would straight up punch someone in the face should they happen upon them desecrating the flag that represents, to them, the spirit of the American people.
God bless America, land that I love. Happy birthday, you grand old lady. Happy Fourth from me & my crew to you and yours. Be safe, don't drink and drive, and avoid setting off fireworks unsupervised.
See ya'll on Monday for TWTW.
