So many blessings we have as Americans. This 4th of July, take a moment between your next burger and beer to reflect on ALL those lives that were given and those STILL sacrificing daily in the theatres of war, in the defense and pursuit of our FREEDOM. I know it's easy to focus on the freedoms that are taken from us daily because of the evil in this world. Bottomline, We remain the country with the MOST FREEDOM for our people in the entire world. WE ARE BLESSED. So enjoy your 4th of July! Be safe! And Let the FIREWORKS begin !!!!!
