What moment of independence do you treasure the most?

Watching previews at the movies with my family yesterday, I saw two U.S. Army ads which really caught my attention. They were feel good ads that worked, plus they got me thinking quite a bit.

I have included a link below so that you can watch the three “Moments of American Independence” brought to you by the U.S. Army. It will not be exactly what you expect, and I hope you will find them as awesome as I did.

After watching please share your moments of independence (pictures would be a great addition) and why they are so important to you.

Follow, join, or find these moments using #myindependence

My moment of independence was when I left home and joined the Army.
I had a good home, but I left.
I should have never gone back.

These things happen. After my first enlistment, I went back home. I was miserable so I signed up again, this time I haven't looked back with any regret. I have a great wife and 2 awesome kids that I probably wouldn't have, had I not left home.

I was amazed at how much "home" had changed after I had been in for several months... By the end of the first year, I realized home hadn't changed at all... I did... I've never been back and looking for "home" every since... I think I'm learning its a state of mind and being...

Like the old saying goes: Home is where the heart is. Leaving home and maturing changes many things. Thing that has always struck me is when I look at my childhood home; how small it looks now.

Let's see,
5:00PM M-F when I leave work
When my kids go back to school in September
My Boy Scout camp master weekends where I commune with nature
When I spend a few hours in the man cave with my GI Joe collection

Other than that it's a life of indentured servitude :-)

Being born an American Citizen is when my moment of Independence began and every day since then. I have always felt luck to be an American...I have been to and seen other countries and have always felt we are the best. I pains me to see people complain about the US...burn and stomp on the flag...and it pains me that so many are trying to change who and what we are.
