Every once in a while you get an opportunity to experience something so special and unforgettable. For me it was back in 1976 July the 4th celebration of 200 years of freedom and democracy. Wow, it was spectacular!! At the time I was living in New York. They had arranged for a celebration that brought ships, specially designed for this event from all over the world. As the ships came into the harbor there were great water shows and at night wonderful fireworks. In the harbor all the sailors from the ships were on the docks or attending to various duties on their ships. It was wall to wall people walking around looking at all the details of the magnificent ships, and of course taking pictures. Lots of pictures! Well I seized a moment and asked one of the sailors to stand next to me and have my picture taken with him. Oh man what a thrill! Here I was standing next to a sailor, in a uniform, from another country, in front of a foreign ship with the beautiful sails and their country colors flying. Getting my picture taken for our 200 year celebration. We had such a good time, I will never forget that wonderful memory. July the 4th is one of my faves of the holidays anyway. I feel it in my soul. Our fore fathers paved the way for me and my family to have such wonderful moments in our lives and to cherish the freedoms like the one I am exercising right now. Well I finally got my pictures developed, and here it is folks. My special moment caught on camera, thank you very much... In case you don't know what this is, it's half of a smiling mouth. She...had the camera turned around and then CLICK, that was my moment, my keepsake of New York City from the July 4, 1976 celebration. I will cherish it always!
