On this day when we remember a day in history that was to be the Birth of this Great Nation, it is appropriate to recognize that history is important! Please take a moment today to think back and to thank to those great Patriots who had the fearlessness to stand tall in the face of the greatest power of their day, the courage to declare themselves no longer a Colony of Great Britain, but an Independent Nation, and the insight to write a set of Documents that more than any others in the history of this world, come the closest to perfection when considering the rights provided us by our Creator, and the Freedom to pursue Life, Liberty and Happiness ... to strive to be the
best that we can be!
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
FLY "OLD GLORY" HIGH!!!

I just realized I left out a very important part of what I had planned to say in my Fourth of July posting!
Ahem
This Pledge captures the Spirit of the Pledge of Allegiance, and of being an American as much, if not more, now as it did when it was originally aired many years ago, When some of us were only very young children, and is fitting that we remember the meaning of the words it contains as we celebrate the Independence of the United States of America.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
