Thought you may enjoy this email sent to all American troops in Afghanistan from the Polish military stationed there. My husband fowarded me the email he received at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan. It reads as follows:

Subject: 4th of July Greeting

Dear Friends

Two hundred and thirty two years ago, when your forefathers signed the
Declaration of Independence, they changed the history of the world.
Thanks to their sacrifices the world realized the true meaning of
freedom. Independence and freedom are powerful words in your country as
they are in Poland. When the United States gained independence, Poland
was in the process of slowly loosing portions of its borders to its
neighbors. We appreciate your efforts towards a unified and independent
United States of America because we know how difficult it is to regain
freedom and independence. Today we can be very happy with living in
independent countries. Today we fight together for freedom for people
in other countries, like here in Afghanistan.

4th of July and Independence Day are identified in our country with
aspiring to freedom and that is why we are so happy that we can
celebrate this day with American soldiers signifying our common goals
for peace and freedom.

Today we wish you and your nation a peaceful and happy day.
