All "Raise Your Glass To America" Toasts

My bimonthly unofficial challenge fell on July, and what could be better than to put out a challenge for a celebratory toast to America for its 250-year anniversary of independence! I've had a lot of fun reading the entries, ranging from pure celebratory and patriotic toasts to tongue-in-cheek wishes for the country to correct its current course.

All the tips have been sent out, even though sometimes Link screamed at me that I was making too many attempts. Until the next challenge in September, enjoy these entries and other unofficial challenges!

Thank you, everyone, for playing and reading!
