Happy tax evasion day to all those across the pond! A great day for liberty!
A moment's reverence to those that gave their lives for freedom, especially for France's contribution of men, ships, weapons and wealth to bring liberty to a foreign nation under oppression.
France assisting the independence of America is the smoking gun for the beginning of the end of the Imperial Age: not only bringing about the modern state of USA, but also triggering France's own turn against tyranny in their own country and consequently all of Europe. Sure it was a rocky road, with a lot of backward steps, but the world has overall made a forward progression for which we should all be thankful.
