As Jaakko crested the hill from the front he saw the enemy in full retreat as he grabbed his beloved flag he cared for so much and began to hold it. As he looked back rockets and fireworks bloomed as one of the Patriot Battalion members quickly took his picture with fireworks behind. The day's victory hadn't come without cost though as he saw dead on both sides he wondered if the endless war they were fighting would end with victory or just with more bloodshed. It had been five years since the fall of government structure around the world but he didn't care as he remembered the old United States and those memories are what has kept him fighting and leading his, mostly lightly trained but combat experienced, militia forces from the front as he always did. Maybe this 4th of July would be the turning point that they had hoped for for so long.

Happy 4th of July to all the American Furs out there, remember the sacrifices of those lost protecting and earning our freedoms and pour a beer or whatever out for them! They deserve it more than we do!!!! Now go enjoy the days festivities!!!
