As the whole world seems to be in tcrmoil, we here in America can come and go as we please. It's hard to imagine and wonder what its like to have a dictator riding over all the people on everything they do and every move they make. The patriotic feeling a person gets when "Old Glory," the stars and stripes arc raised. And a person listen's to the words of the National Anthem, giving the real meaning for why we stand so proud. Words like, "Bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there." So many times we have faced this issue. It all started on a fourth of July, in 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed and we became free. A nation of our own. The Democratic way of life, The Democracy, a government by the people, for the people and the supreme power is held by the people. This is what Independence day means. This is what we are willing to defend when the call comes. So many times in the past, men were willing to put their lives on the line for these convictions of the American way of life. It is those men who gave their lives for us to be free today. The 4th of July means a great deal to this nation. It is true we are free to do what we like and what we bcleive in. Sometimes it seems pathetic when all these demonstrations take place. Especially during the Vietnam Era where all the young men burned their draft cards. It was their right to believe this and avoid being drafted into the service but a chicken way of being an American. Many men all went to Canada running away from the draft. Some say it was the poor man's war, or the Minority race and all the misfits. But no matter who's war it was all men of the United States should have gone on with the tradition to fight for our country to keep our countrymen free. . Take the Korean War, the forgotten war, where there was just supposed to be some assistance to the South Korean country, this costed the Americans many lives, yet no one objected of being drafctd into the service. It was just a duty to the country for most men in that time. Just a short time after the World War II, everyone felt it was their duty to be ready to defend our country and prevent any take over by other countries. Ask little kids what the 4th of July, means to them, they say, "A time to have fireworks," or a time for travel, a time to watch parades and have a good time. None ever say, "To observe our freedom!" America has never invaded another country for the benefits of what they may have, only to protect what we have and prevent any aggression against us. Yep! When the National Anthem was played on the fourth of July, it did make people realize what we stand for because there are many, many who gave their lives for us to be free. AHH-NAH-CHI-TOON!!!

Diane (Zamora) Cabell June 17, 1993 Questions: (404-594-0071) Native American Indians They are the children of the rich and giving soil, With eyes as deep and dark as the floor from which they spring; Eves of the savage wolf, the patient hawk, the noble buck. They are, they were. they are the ones with jaws as strong as nature's wind-whipped stone; Carved from the rushing water's timeless soul, As the river plants the sucklc-swcct seed of if its song forever in their hearts, They arc, they were. Like the warm and outstretched arms of father sun, There glows eternally the light of harmony in every man; Fired by the soul's simple embrace of sky and earth and all their cherished guests Killing only to live, yet dying slowly with each kill; They are, they were. Cries of hope to the sun, to the sun; And cries of pain for the feast to come; They pass over the land on shoes of silence, To slay with the skill of a dancing fox; they are, they are. No They were, they were. Now only dancing fire lights up the ghostly plains, As their songs rage across the sky like rolling thunder In concrete cages and cluttered cars we shudder at the sound And from their weary gaze tears fall faintly to the ground.
