I congratulate you all on this wonderful day !!! I am English and am very pleased you celebrate the arrival of those very brave country men of mine . In USA you have Irish Americans, Italian Americans , Japanese Americans , Korean Americans ,African Americans ,Chinese Americans etc etc but NO English Americans it must be that we got there first . They were very brave I was in the Merchant Marine for 40 years and been in the North Atlantic in winter with 10,000 horse power and bow and stern thrusters and yet been concerned on a dark and stormy night I kid you not .I watched the Smithsonian channel about Jamestown and Pocahontas et etc but no mention of the ships that were lost en route to the New World . The prevailing wind in the North Atlantic is Westerly so they sailed against the wind . 1776 happened because English people dont take any cr*p just that simple . Back in the day I certainly would have been a revolutionary !!! . My son did his DNA and has 720 5th and sixth cousins in the USA so we are still connected .
