Independence Day July 4th *



On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born. Every day thousands leave their homeland to come to the "land of the free and the home of the brave" so they can begin their American Dream.

The United States is truly a diverse nation made up of dynamic people. Each year on July 4, Americans celebrate that freedom and independence with barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings. Through the Internet we are learning about and communicating with people of different nations, with different languages and different races throughout the world. Bringing the world closer with understanding and knowledge can only benefit all nations.

We invite all nations to celebrate with Americans online this Fourth of July.

Happy Birthday, America!

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

I am a proud American. When I hear the Star Spangled Banner and see the flag, I feel a shocke in my heart and am so proud of all my forefathers who braved the ocean deep to come here. I have traced my family to those arriving by 1700's. Some left their country to have religious freedon. I am a very PROUD AMERICAN!!!!! Nena
