I ndependence Day 2017 As I listen to John Denver a bittersweet tear falls from my cheek, on this July 3rd 2017. Tomorrow July 4th Independence day. July 4th means so many things to me. A mix of fireworks and memories. My Mom and Dad Married on this day, many moons ago. It didn’t quite work out for them but that's another story. It's a day I like to watch Independence Day 1 and now 2 too. Where we proud Americans put our differences aside and fight the bigger demon the true Alien. LOL. 4 years ago on 4th of July I had recently landed in New Orleans and it was a my best Independence day. The day that started a beautiful love story and maybe a day I lost my being single Independence. 4 years latter here we are celebrating Independence day again. As I listened to John Denver’s Take me Home I realize in a small way that America is split but it's not Red and Blue, Republican or Democrat, Rich or Poor. The true Split is in an old America or a New America and all that ...
