Happy Independence Day - 2016
As the fireworks crack and the sparklers burn,
From our Founding Fathers, there's so much we can learn.
On this day exactly 240 years ago,
America declared that British rule must go.
This year Britain is separating from the EU,
What centuries before Americans fought so hard to do.
At every picnic and party and Fourth of July parade,
We honor and appreciate all of the sacrifices made.
Independence Day celebrates that we are free
Due to forces protecting us in air, on land, and at sea.
AAFMAA appreciates your service to the USA!
On every July 4th, it's thanks to you we celebrate our birthday!
