The elderly American gentleman arrived in Paris by plane. At French customs, he fumbled for his passport. "You 'ave been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically. The old gent admitted that he had been to France previously. "Zen, you should know enough to 'ave your passport ready for inspection." The American said the last time I was here, I didn't have to show it! Impossible. You Americans always "ave to show your passports on arrival in France!" The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."
Things are not as they have been. The fourth dimension gives us perspective that the other three cannot.
Celebrate Independence from Kings, despots, socialists and other forms of tyranny. And be grateful for the brave souls that redeem your freedom at such great cost.
