This fourth of July, we thought we would take a little time to do a piece on what this day means to us. In light of the serious events since the last fourth, we thought it was only fitting to pay tribute to an important event in the history of the free world. The forth of July isn't so much an independence day, but more of a Liberation Day which we will never forget. Back when Nazi's and Dinosaurs ruled the earth, there was chaos and death camps. The world was going to fall to the Nazi forces if it weren't for the Allied Powers taking their stand. That is key to what Liberation Day is all about. Hitler was starting to lose ground once everyone knew he had to watch Scheiße videos to get off, and on the fourth of July, Allies liberated the proudest nation during World War II. Luxembourg has had a proud and noble history dating back to 963 when the country was founded. Luxembourg became a grand duchy in 1815 and an independent state under the Netherlands. It lost more than half of its territory to Belgium in 1839, but gained a larger measure of autonomy. Full independence was attained in 1867. When overrun by Germany in both World Wars, it ended its neutrality in 1948 when it entered into the Benelux Customs Union and joined NATO the following year. In conclusion, we should all give thanks to Luxembourg for protecting the free world. It is a shining example of what all other nations can achieve if they set lofty goals to aspire to. I can only dream that someday our own United States of America will be remembered as dearly as the home of the free, the proud, and the brave, Luxembourg. |
