“Freedom is never given, it is won.”
I feel very fortunate to be living in the USA...there is no better place on earth as far as I am concerned. I have traveled a bit and would never choose any other place to call home.
Being born in a different county makes you appreciate the USA even more. Here we have the freedom to say and do what we like....
I have also lived in many states within the USA and I have to say that today my favorite place to call home is Chicago....
All summer long there is so much to do. Again we tried to make it to Taste of Chicago...unfortunately there were over 1 million people in the park....never-the-less I had a great time just maneuvering through the crowd....we did manage to see/hear a bit of Steve Miller Band.
After we decided we did not wish to fight with the crowd we headed for a quieter spot and just relaxed....as you can see Arvid is already relaxing with his weekend drink...
We also did a bit sight seeing....and let me tell you there is a lot to see....
As usual we had a great time....
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
PS: that flag was taken in Macys...the flag is 7 stories tall and Macys has a total of 12 stories....
until next time...
