Thank You!

I love this special holiday we call the 4th of July!  Not really for the food and fireworks, but more for the meaning behind the holiday.  I have always had a great appreciation and love for my country.  I think as time goes on and this world becomes even more corrupted the great blessing that I have of being an American becomes even more profound.  

I am so grateful for all of the men and women and their families who have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice their time and their lives to the great cause of Freedom.  May we all enjoy this great holiday in safety and spend it with those that we love.  I will leave you with the lyrics to one of my all time favorite songs...

If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life.  And I had to start again with just my children and my wife.  I'd thank my lucky start to be living here today 'cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away.  And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.  And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me and I proudly stand up next to you and defend her still today 'cause their ain't no doubt I love this land.  God bless the USA.  From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee.  Across the plains of Texas from sea to shining sea.  From New York down to Houston and to LA well there's pride in every American heart and it's time we stand and say.  That I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.  And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me and I proudly stand up next to you and defend her still today.  'Cause their ain't no doubt I love this land.  GOD BLESS THE USA!
