S2 E14 ”Happy Birthday America - It’s the 4th of July!”

Happy Birthday America! We are 247 years young! America - the great social experiment. You may not think it, or believe it, but our country was founded by not just great men, but forward thinking men. Men of vision. One of those men, was our 1st President - George Washington.

George Washington said this of America - "The establishment of our new Government seemed to be the last great experiment for promoting human happiness." What a statement. By the way, our Constitution is the only one in the world that guarantees our right to the pursuit of happiness.

America and all that it stands for is something that we (the 2 Old Farts) are very proud of. We served this country, in times of peace and in war. We love it - warts and all. There are things that that our founding father's and their ancestors did that we aren't proud of - but we've learned and grown from it.

So take some time to celebrate our Republic! And if you be from somewhere else in the world - thank you for listening and downloading our podcast. We thank you. Especially to Canada! You have been very good to us with your frequent downloads. We are truly an international podcast!
