What moment of independence do you treasure the most?
Watching previews at the movies with my family yesterday, I saw two U.S. Army ads which really caught my attention. They were feel good ads that worked, plus they got me thinking quite a bit.
I have included a link below so that you can watch the three “Moments of American Independence” brought to you by the U.S. Army. It will not be exactly what you expect, and I hope you will find them as awesome as I did.
After watching please share your moments of independence (pictures would be a great addition) and why they are so important to you.

This may be a little off, but I think my "moment of independence" is when I truly appreciated my freedom to travel between cities and states... One of my most guilty pleasures has always been road trips, and it's nothing for me to jump in the truck on a week-end and visit a city or a state or two... How I come to really treasure this was during my trips to the sand box and discovering what happens to Shia and Sunnis who are caught venturing "outside their assigned areas"... It's not pretty... Explaining to them about the freedom of travel in the US was something many of them couldn't fathom, and became something that grew to be more important to me on each return, and one I don't take for granted... And I feel that American pride rolling that Dodge Ram or my Harley across the country with a good tune, lots of wind and a sky blue day... Don't get no better than that...

My Freedom of Liberty and Justice and for All Man-Kind and knowing that when I hear an F-18 or an Osprey over my head I know that I'm a Free Individual and not to worry about the "Bear" or "Dragon spying on me. JK

My daughter and I have a summer tradition of catching a baseball game at a new field wherever we are on vacation. We enjoy seeing all of the wonderful parks across the country, but we are Twins fans hands down. A couple of years ago we were able to attend opening day at Target Field, not only was it us but my parents and my brother and his family joined us for the 30 degree day. The opening ceremony and national anthem took me by surprise like it has never done before, that moment nested with America's pastime beginning new for another year is my moment of independence.

CW3 (Join to see), you just had to pick that ONE opener out of all of the good ones we've had since the park opened didn't you?!
You're a man after my own heart, Chief! I'm a lifelong Twins fan, but I'm always enjoying visits to new ballparks during my travels and vacations with the family. Major League or the Minors, it doesn't really matter, it's all about enjoying America's Game and that is one of my pleasurable moments of independence!

It is nice to run into another Twins fan MAJ (Join to see), no matter where it is. I agree about the games, we just caught a minor league game last week. I almost think they can be more fun, especially with young kids. You said it well, "it's all about enjoying America's Game."

The men and women that have died for our freedom and we should not let their deaths be in vain. We need to be stronger
