Thankful for 233 Years Of Freedom...

All we have of freedom, all we use or know -
This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.
~~~~~Rudyard Kipling, The Old Issue, 1899


The Fourth of July is the one day out of 365 that we set aside to celebrate our Nation's independence. But it must be celebrated each and every day of the year so that we never allow ourselves to become complacent to the power struggle within our government.
With all that's going on in Washington D.C. nowadays it's looking much like we are very close to what our ancestors saw many years ago. Unfortunately for us though, it's not at the hands of another country but by our own leaders.

We owe so much to those men and women who have defended us throughout our Nations' 233 years. Many have paid the price to preserve what our forefathers started. Our American Forces are deployed around the world fighting those who want the United States destroyed.

Today, especially today... I'm trying very hard to "keep holding on."





May God keep all those who are wear the uniform of the United States Armed Forces within his arms of protection. May he keep their families strong here on the homefront. May God keep our resolve for The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA to be forever known as "land of the free and home of the brave."

Wishing all of America a very HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!




And so it goes......
