DEPENDENCE  DAY 

Happy Dependence Day!

It’s a great day when we realize

we depend upon one another.

We needed a mom and dad

for a ticket to ride…. this great

planet we’re going around and

around on - over and over again.

Happy Dependence Day!

It’s a great day when we realize

we depend upon all those who

have gone before us - all those

inventors, all those immigrants,

all those imaginators - and all

those who made us who we are.

Happy Dependence Day!

It’s a great day when we realize

we have a great model here in the

United States - stress on united -

in hopes that by some July 4^th in

the future, we’ll have a real

United Nations, a real United World.

Happy Dependence Day!

Okay, you want me to say,
"Happy Interdependence Day!"

Not yet, sorry!
