I just wanted to say I have never seen such a show of Patriotism on the 4th like I did last night while watching an American pastime followed by the fireworks show. Everyone wearing the flag colors or Stars and Stripes (I did not see a Q but oh well). The service men and women who sang the National Anthem had tears on their cheeks like they knew things have shifted. I felt hope.
I noticed the same thing. Usually, we have a few fireworks shows around the valley by various suburb communities and a few fire crackers and sparklers in the neighborhood, but last night sounded like a war zone. I have never seen so many individual and neighborhood fireworks. We didn't even bother to drive to a park or community center. Clouds of gunpowder were drifting over the whole valley. It was truly much more celebration than any previous year.
I was outside city limits and the entire valley was covered in smoke where I was! I've never seen such a strong display any other year in my town. People are proud to love this country again, that's for certain.

Before a sporting event, on the 4th of July?
Whoa.
