Happy Fourth of July!!

Today is a day to stop the bickering and just be grateful we have the choice to bicker!  I was a young adult during the Viet Nam War and have several friends from high school and college who are not here to be able to bicker.  I have several friends and acquaintances who are now serving our country both here and abroad.  A huge THANK YOU to all of you for helping to keep us safe.  And a huge THANK YOU to the families of those in the service.  I spent 8 years as a NAVY wife during wartime.   It is a very difficult thing to do.  The familes need all the help and support we can give them too.
LET FREEDOM RING!
