"On July 4 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born. Every day thousands leave their homeland to come to the "land of the free and the home of the brave" so they can begin their American dream."
Today - 4th of July --is a national holiday in the US as Americans celebrate Independence Day.
Well, what can I say but that America has come a mighty long way -- and back. A horrible U-Turn.
But, let's not get depressed. Be happy and rejoice on this wonderful day where we are reminded that the American Dream is a good thing.
In celebration of America's birthday, "60 Minutes" presents eight men and women that have been profiled over the years, who can truly be called American Icons.
Neil Armstrong
Oprah Winfrey
Ted Turner
Lance Armstrong
Kermit the Frog
Muhammad Ali
Yogi Berra
Katharine Hepburn

Hi JT,
