The Freedom Riders who died in America trying to achieve civil rights should be remembered as heroes on Independence Day.

Not looking for argument.

What I meant was that we all sometimes look at days when we younger, fondly.

I didn't purposely use the term, "the good old days" as those days had problems, just like at any other time.

Where was "the good old days", in the old west, when people died at the age of 31? No running water and bathroom facilities? Health conditions, left a lot to be desired. We all live much longer today.
