HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!
Have a great day celebrating the anniversary of American Independence! I'm about to go to a parade but I've been watching a great series about the American Revolution on the History Channel this morning.

I've seen it before. It is a good series.
Unfortunatly....I'm watching James Bond on USA Netwwork
Happy Independence Day..Here in the states.
And while we all are cooking our dogs and burgers, Lets us not forget those that paid the ultimate price in the past for all our freedoms here in the states. Let us not forget those American men and women, in Iran and Afganiststan, still fighting for freedom.
We'll never forget.

I can't say it any better.
To those then, who paid the ultimate, who were injured, who were at risk, and those who were on active duty, or reserve status, but not called to action,

That's what it's all about. Yeah, it's the anniversary of the birth of the country, but it should be all about honoring those that gave the country the freedoms that it has. This goes back to those in 1776 that fought for our independence up to those who are still fighting to maintain it.
It's not called,
for nothing...

233 years ago we stood up against the violation of our rights granted by the Magne Carte.
Hurray for orations of John Adams!
Hurray for the pen of Thomas Jefferson!
Hurray for the diplomacy of John Jay and Benjamin Franklin!
Hurray for the checks and balances of the pen of James Madison!
Hurray for George Washington and his Cincinnatian decision to return to his farm!
And thanks to the millions whom have taken up arms, in peace and in war, to protect our unalienable rights!
