and when I was searching for firework photos I found this cute little icon


Now for me the second thing that comes to mind when I think of the 4th of July is The Hero (a.k.a Alfred Jones a.k.a America off of Hetalia) so for all you Hetalia fans out there (HIGHFIVE ) here are some pictures of him

Now The Hero really loves Hamburgers and freedom fries (a.k.a our beloved French fries that where onces called freedom fries.... Why did that awesome name not stick ) so for all you freedom fries and hamburger lovers I have found these pictures (they made me hungry)

Right now I would like to take a moment to thank all the Veterans and Army personnel who serve or have served in our United States military. If it weren't for you guys we would not be able to enjoy this holiday that we are celebrating. Thank you for your service and for your sacrifice this part of the journal is dedicated especially to you.

I found this piece of literature by that, for me, summed up the american spirit, I hope that you will all take just a minute or two of your time to go and read it.
   I Will StandI'm just a man,
Who's lived too many lives,
And I feel old before my time
Everything, I've seen and heard,
I try to send to you,
In my words...
This life, it's hard,
Don't you see?
But I, will win,
Cause I believe!
I won't back down!
Cause that's not me!
I don't give in that easily!
I will stand,
And I'll fight!
I'll raise my voice,
Up into the night!
I'll give...you my all, everything...
And all...I ask,
Is that you stand by me...
Stand with me...
I am just a man,
Who's seen too many things,
And I know the price that silence brings!
Every time, that I've been lost,
I've fought my way back,
No matter what the cost...
This life, it's hard,
Don't you see?
But I will win,
Cause that's just me!
I won't back down!
Cause that's not me!
I don't give in that easily!
I will stand,
And I'll fight!
I'll raise my voice,
Up into the night!
I'll give...you my all, everything...
And all...I ask,
Is that you believe!
Believe...in me!
The world's not black!
The world's not white!
There is no difference

(here are just a few songs that I thought went along well with the theme of this journal, please take a minute to listen to them)
