Happy 4th of July 2023, Americans!

As per the title, I wish y’all a happy 4th of July.
(Edit: Independence Day of course, see below.)

Don’t blow up yourself (or something else that wasn’t made for that purpose), please. Stay safe.

I’m going to be a Kevin here… because it’s a ridiculous pet peeve of mine, but don’t feel bad… most American’s say the same thing, the news, vets, etc etc…

The holiday is “Independence Day”!!!

Which happens to be on July 4th… we don’t say Merry December 25th now do we. lol

I’m messing and joking with you… but it’s true. :wink:

That flag is wrong on so many levels, but I think our American friends will still appreciate the thought. :smiley:

Happy Independence Day! I still think it should be celebrated on the 3rd of September. The Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3rd 1783, officially ending the Revolutionary War. Declaring independence is relatively easy (although it required courage to do so). Achieving Independence was a hard fight. It took years to accomplish at a considerable cost to both sides.

And before anyone gets a bit hot hot under the collar, that’s just a tongue in cheek way for an Aussie to say congratulations on the anniversaary of telling the British Royal Family to ‘shove it’.

Lol, I posted something similar on the combat-pilot forums. All I could find were ones with Elizabeth on them so I posted a generic version.

What I posted on the off chance their forums go offline before this one.

Since humor/humour tends to be quite subjective and easily misinterpreted I need to point out that my nationality is American/USA.

Well to all you Red Coats, have some satisfaction that we had to hire the French to get the job done at Yorktown :rofl:

On VATSIM today I had the Lindberg Tower controller say to me ‘To the British sounding guy, Happy 4th’. The best reply I could come up with ‘Thanks. Best of three?’ but not sure if he got it… :slight_smile:
