We had a fireworks show last night here in the small Texas town (pop 40,000) I live in. I rarely attend these events because I don't care much for crowds, fucking with traffic, et al. (plus i'm lazy)

The military channel was showing a 5 part documentary series last night called "the Revolution" which mainly focused on George Washington and the war with the British. One thing is clear, without the help we got from the French, we may never have gotten our Independence, at least not as soon as we did. If you get a chance, and if you haven't already, you might check out this Documentary, America will always owe a debt of gratitude to the French, and the founders who gave us the freedom we enjoy to this day.
