A 4th of July Story…..
My friend Phil was very excited about his upcoming birthday. It is on the 4th of July which brought to mind George M. Cohan’s, I’M A YANKEE DOODLE DANDY “I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy A Yankee Doodle, do or die A real live nephew of my uncle Sam’s Born on the Fourth of July “ The real “born on the fourth of July”, Phil Nanos, was kind enough to share his thoughts about what was it like to have that special birthday. Phil continues- What is it like to be born on the 4th of July? It has advantages and disadvantages. For one things, everyone celebrates the 4th. My favorite memory is when my parents would travel out of state to be sure that we had fireworks. Then the whole neighborhood would come to my house to celebrate the 4th. Some people knew it was my birthday and some did not. I didn’t want to be the star that day because, after all, it is a day about the U.S.A., and not me. My wish for America is the everyone enjoy the day, but that people do not forget about our independence and our freedom. We should think about the rest of the world and be thankful. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA…(and Phil)
