A Video for the 4th
In searching YouTube for an appropriate video to put up for the 4th, this one touched me the most. It is a film of the Queen's Guards outside Buckingham Palace, ordered to play the United States National Anthem, the day after 9/11, to show the country's sympathy with America, and to comfort the many U.S. citizens who had congregated outside of the palace gates after learning their flights home were cancelled. I think this is especially moving in light of the recent terror attacks in the U.K.

Good selection. And we need to stand with the British, even as we celebrate the day we declared our independence of them.
Exactly!
