I’m proposing a British Heritage Month. Not only to celebrate the culture of Britain, but to acknowledge that the house that is America was built on a British foundation.

It is unfortunate that many Americans do not know of their British roots. They should know. It is important because the roots don’t stop in the UK – that is what is so fascinating. Depending on the area of Britain your family came from, you could have a German or even a Norwegian bloodline.

Britain was a central part of ancient times, a host to Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Scots and Celtic tribes. It is all an incredible tapestry of history, and one that should be known and celebrated by Americans today. When we lose sight of our heritage, we weaken the bond between two great nations.

We have a heritage that is rich and historical. We should freely celebrate the British roots of America.

Please help create an official “British Heritage Month”, to be celebrated during the month of April.

Interesting!

I went to the WayBack Machine (www.archive.org) and discovered some great things! For instance, if you copy and paste the following links into your browser, you’ll see:

* The old website for the British Monarchy -

Archive.org – Official Site of The British Monarchy

* Or how about the original home for “Mandy’s British Royalty Club” , before it joined forces with Yahoo? Remember eGroups? –

Archive.org – eGroups

:-) Good times! I had a chuckle…
