Independence Day

US FlagHere in the U.S., today is Independence Day. A day when we celebrate our independence as a nation and the freedom that comes with it. Freedom unlike any other country in the world.

These days too many Americans are so focused on opposing the current administration that they lose perspective on what we really have here as a nation. Hearing people say they would rather leave the country than live here under George W. Bush. Of course those same people still live here, make a living here, and in the end probably never would have left in the first place.

My hope, though it may not be realistic, is that all citizens of this country would take time to be thankful for the freedom we have in this country. Many of us, myself included, take this freedom for granted everyday.

On this day when we celebrate our freedom, I most importantly what to thank all of our men and women in the Armed Services for what they do. We support you and thank you for your sacrifice in defending this country and keeping it free.
