Is it really that important that people remember WHO we separated from or WHY we separated from that country?

I believe that every school does have a chapter in their history book about the American Revolution. Whether or not it is remembered is a different story. Even if the schools do not cover it well, parents should make sure their kids know all about it. Do you believe your children have passed those lessons to your grandkids?

Anyhow, have a wonderful Independence Day and celebrate (safely) the American spirit!
