Happy Birthday America. 1776 - 2008 ~~ 232 years.
.
No matter where you happen to be on the 4th of July 2008, you can always celebrate our nation's birthday.
.
I heard an announcement on ICRT Radio in Taipei today. A professional baseball game is being played in the Tienmu Stadium on Saturday, 5 July. If you bring your US Passport, your admission cost is only 100 NT.
.
Fireworks, the cookout and times of celebration with family and friends makes this day special each year.
.
Many of us spent at least one 4th of July in Taiwan. I recall July 4th1966, I was hired and began working that day at the MAAG Officer's Club Annex as a Night Manager. The club had arranged a huge party that afternoon and evening with traditional holiday food. It was a fun day even while working, entertainment, food, games, watermelon, prizes... what a first day at work!
.
That's what July 4th is all about, celebrating our country, being with family and friends.
.
May we live to celebrate another birthday, July 4th 2009. My best to you and your family.
.
Don't forget, next year on July 4th, we plan to be in Taipei. Please visit our site to review the travel plans. .
