    I’m not sure that wasn’t the last Independence Day for America.

    It's never too late to share a beautiful photograph - thank you for making the effort! I don't think I've ever seen a combination fireworks/drone show - where was this incredible display?

    Looks really cool! Nice picture! I bet the drones were awesome!

    Enjoyed the night out at our local city park and ran into multiple friends. Great fireworks display, and while the cover band was fine, they brought on a master fiddle player and did a killer The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

    The first time I heard about a drone show, I thought “how lame is that?” And then I saw footage of one and was blown away.

    The drone show at the Longhorns game I went to after the PJ Fort Worth show was killer.

    The starts & stripes are dead to me! It’s been high jacked by the MAGA cult you can fly it all you want. 
    This is only true if we give it up and let the MAGA folks be the only ones to embrace the flag.  It is a perception, but that's all.  I still have a flag hanging at my house and this year re-registered as a republican just so I could vote not Trump in the primaries.  It was the only thing I could think to do.  I'm in California where you only vote for "your party" in the primaries.

    Funny how slavery, colonialism and imperialism were all brought here by Europeans… especially the British.  

    Also…I’m pretty sure the British appreciated our cowboys (now military) and guns during World War II or else you might have typed this post in German. 

    We all know America has many warts.  But don’t post here with some air of moral authority that you don’t actually have because of your own country’s awful history of human rights violations.

    Bravo, on2legs, very well stated! I appreciate the back up, as I had told myself I wasn't going to take the bait from negative people here.  Thank you, my friend, and enjoy the remainder of the 4th of July holiday weekend!

    It was just a dark comedy sketch, that I thought was funny, rather than a dig.

    Though of course, I find patriotism a fairly wild idea, whichever country you are from.  

    Of course England played a massive shameful part in the slave trade and it was very lucrative, from providing ships and finance to reaping the reward in terms of product, even if slavery itself has never been legal in England itself (it was of course widely popular in our ‘colonies’ as well).
