My Hope For America On July 4th
This is what I want America to be. While we are at it throw in health care for all and science is valued. America doesn’t have to be great if it can be better than it is now. Wouldn’t it be nice, just saying.
Music Monday – Neil Diamond – America #independenceday #4thofjuly

It’s hard to believe that on July 2, 2016 this movie will be 20 years old. The film has aged well and I think it remains one of the best of its genre. There is great storytelling and plenty of action. Lots of stuff gets blown up, normally that bothers me about movies but in this one it doesn’t seem to.
Will Smith became a superstar because of his role in Independence Day. The casting in this movie is top notch too with lots of well-known names such as Jeff Goldblum, Robert Loggia, Judd Hirsch, Mary McDonnell, Vivica A. Fox and Harvey Fierstein.
This movie is a 4th of July holiday tradition. We watch it every year.
