Happy Fourth of July, everyone! Yankee Doodle Dandy just ended on TCM (my fave channel). The film stars James Cagney as the Broadway great George M. Cohan, and it’s one of my favorite classics of all time.
I wanted to share with you the scene near the film’s end where Cagney tap dances his way down the White House stairs after receiving the Medal of Honor from President Franklin Roosevelt. If you’ve never seen it, I think you’ll be amazed. If you’ve seen it before, I’m certain you won’t mind seeing it again (and again).
To all who have served, are serving, and will serve, thank you from a grateful citizen.
