History was made in the year 1066. Anyone other than my British connections know why? Okay, I will let you know. The Battle of Hastings in October led to on Christmas Day, 1066, William being crowned the first Norman King of England in Westminster Abbey. Some may say this was the beginning of the British Empire. Now, before I get hammered for getting my facts historically incorrect, I stand corrected if slightly off target. But what about Brexit today? Britain exited the European Union this day, June 24, 2016. Now, I have heard that today marks the beginning of the end for the British Empire. On the other hand, some say they are now much stronger by declaring their independents. Didn’t the USA declare independents in 1776 or dare we forget? I am excited that today we witnessed a historical event and I for one say good for you Britain. I hope you all the best in your decision. I look forward to this country becoming more involved in our own history as we celebrate our independence. May we never forget our history and the price we paid for our freedom.
