From a grateful neighbor to the north, whose ancestors were on the losing side of the War of Independence, Happy Independence Day, especially all who serve.
The world is a much better place because of the existence of the United States of America.
Thank you for that, Canvasback. And we Yanks too often forget that our former British opponents and their former English-speaking colonies have been our most resolute allies for the last century or so. In fact, they were there first while we were late-comers in a couple world wars, after which we stood together for another half century against the evils of Communism. Canvasback, I'd offer a friendly amendment to your statement: The world is a much better place because of the existence of the English-speaking democracies.
