12. Donny loves America, ok?

[actuallyagolem]

Alright. Yesterday was the fourth. People made a big deal out of fireworks and eating cheeseburgers. I chuckled with the rest of you. Yeah, America - let's blow something up

Whatever people actually meant, I know what it sounded like. I know what I sound like. I just had to say something, you know? I'd be - [pause for thinking of the right word...]

Remiss. That's the one. I'd be remiss.

[actuallyagolem]

I hope not. People are from years and years and years in my future, so I don't know.

Actually just making a fourth of July post myself! *reading facts*

[deathmerciful]

Independence Day is no joke, but not everyone celebrates it in the same way.

*proud wibble*

[actuallyagolem]

I guess I was just tired of hearing the same thing over and over. It means something else to me entirely.

Clean up, Aisle 4

Because you were a soldier.

[actuallyagolem]

Because of a lot of things. Because I was a soldier and saw a lot of good guys die. Because my parents sacrificed a lot for me to have a good life in America.

[Private:]

Because my country needs to me something to me, or I died for no reason, Louis.

[greatlightother]

We don't have the same country but...I felt the same way back in May. About Victory Day.

[actuallyagolem]

Stuff like that should be remembered. I told you to wear the ribbon, right?

[greatlightother]

Yes. And I did. I still have it. When I get homesick, I'll wear it.

[actuallyagolem]

It's a good thing to have around. I wasn't talking about you though, in the post. I remember that conversation we had. You get it.

[remarkablyblunt]

Here here, old chap. I can't say I celebrate the Fourth of July, but cheers to the spirit of the thing.

[actuallyagolem]

You remind me of someone...

But yeah. Cheers and all. Good to sit and think a little about the meaning of the holiday and all.

[remarkablyblunt]

Perhaps I've just got one of those faces, or whatever it is people say.

[actuallyagolem]

I think it's more the way you speak....write. Both. What's your name, guy?

[amagicalmystery]

I don't like goin' on about these things, so I'll keep it short:

America don't mean the same thing to everybody. Let it go.

[actuallyagolem]

Well now the whole damn Barge knows what it means to me.

[amagicalmystery]

Hooray for you.

[actuallyagolem]

Real glad you stopped on by to cheer me on here, I really am. It's been just peachy.
