Independence Day in Small Town New Jersey

We saw fireworks in Califon tonight during this holiday's celebration of 4th of July.
It is truly an Americana of a small town celebration of a very important event. I wish I was able to take pictures. I do not have a sophisticated camera to take photos with minimum light. But, I do have pictures of parade in Lebanon Borough for similar event.

There was a similar event in the island of Manhattan on a more glamorous and spectacular ways...more impressive fireworks than Califon's.

Either way, it was Americana.

Happy 4th of July!

There were 47 immigrants granted US citizenship in Newark, NJ today. I can relate to to them. It is the best gift for them this important day.

They will be a productive citizens and their generations to come.

This country will provide its citizen the opportunity to achieve their potentials.

It is truly the land of opportunity.

Happy Independence Day!
