"Mankind. That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!” Thomas Whitmore
This speech is from the movie Independence Day. This day is about freedom and it is about how we got that freedom. America has and always will fight. Those who actually do it need to be taken care of and treated with respect.I thank all of them, past present and future military personnel for their work. Remember on this great day that this country was made by men who were doing the right thing. Have a good day and eat a lot.
