    I'll say some people / Americans are clueless. To focus on that, now, guess it's alright for some to set their sights on, but for me, that doesn't take away from what the day is about. To some, I guess, it does? It really is OK to let loose of cynicism once in a while...just appreciate the roads built and walked.

    Anyway, loving the day, enjoying it, acknowledging how it's affected my family's history, and me by proxy, and what some freedoms and opportunities have afforded us. May we be able to not lose sight of them, and hopefully pass it on.
