Happy Birthday, USA – A Unique and Exceptional Country
by Jeff Gardner
I spent a year after graduating from high school as a foreign exchange student living with a host family in the country of Bolivia in South America. One evening my Bolivian sister was doing homework with one of her friends when they asked me what was the date of the end of our War of Independence. I thought for a minute, and I replied that I could not remember the date of the end of the war.
