Happy 4th of July to everyone

We celebrate it every year since a friend of the family was an American and he died in a flight accident. So we honor his memory with his family every 4th of July. He was married to my mothers best friend. He taught me English like I know it today(my school English only helped me with some words and sayings but not the basics). I will always remember him as that very nice guy who had that cool plane that could land on our beach. But sadly he made a wrong move and got in some cables and crashed to his death :-(
Americans are very nice people usually

Is it just me, or is this one of the coolest posts I've ever read on here? Thanks, Mark. This is an incredibly nice gesture, and it honestly means a lot to me that you celebrate the 4th.

Thank you, and Happy 4th to you as well. Happy 4th to everyone else. Safe travels if you're out and about.

Oh thank you Eisen Hulk,we had some nice beef and apple pie with ice cream :-) They had 100 candles on the sea to show respect to all the men and women that had served in Iraq and in the name of freedom. Too bad my girlfriend had my camera and she was not there :-(

You are quite welcome, Mark.

I would have loved to have seen a picture of that. That's amazing! Thanks again. Kudos to you and to Finland!
