Purposes
I just got back from the magnificent fireworks show in my town, and I must say I’m dazzled. (Still dazzled too, because I’m watching the Boston Pops Fireworks Show on TV!) Onto the actual purpose of this blog!
To be honest, you probably will only get a limited description of some of these beautiful fireworks from me. I’ll try my best. Here I go!
Rings of gold shimmy up into the sky, finally as they tire out turning into red white and blue. Green and pink fade away into the smoky skies as five different colors of blues, from velvety to baby blue, to the lightest rays of dawn to a midnight wine. They come to a skidding halt and we roar as gold erupts into shimmering falling stars of the rainbow. Limitless and priceless.
Well, that’s not it for this blog. Not so fast. I’m now going to tell you the reason I care so much about independence this year.
This year, as we became more in need of soldiers–people that I love and know and care about joined the US Army to go of to the Middle East. The terrorists pressed on with their ruthless killing and attacks, not stopping for anything.
No matter what, America is a country and we fought for our independence, and we will keep fighting. Every single year I see these fireworks, I know we have made it through another year as a country.
And we will be that.

Your description of the fireworks was beautiful, you did excellent
I also enjoy watching the fireworks every year. I think I appreciate it more and more as I get older.
I agree with your reasoning, though I never thought of it that way. It is horrible how this war just keeps on going…and going…
