Independence Day

[Davita]

Happy Independence Day to all our Indonesian members. A day to enjoy and be proud of your nation and its unity.
Independence for a nation is a great honor as it offers freedoms, rights and aspirations colonized people do not have. Please use those rights freely but responsibly.
Many countries have found independence only to fall into tyranny.

Many countries have found independence only to fall into tyranny.

Worth repeating.

Thanks David
Yesterday we celebrated the day, raising the flag underwater in menjangan north of Bali.

Good for you...but wish you'd manage to post a pic...love to see the flag flutter underwater.
Ours still flies high above our villa in Bali...we also took the opportunity to fly a flag from our neighbor's villa who isn't in town.

Great story of the young boy (Joni?) who didn't hesitate to climb the flag pole to disentangle the lanyard...he has been offered a free scholarship from a school.

Loose translation:
My struggle is easier as I'm evicting colonizers, yours will be harder as you're fighting your own.
