Happy Independence Day...

While we are busy with all of the fun activities of the day - family, festivals and fireworks - take just a moment to remember all of the Patriots who risked life and limb...

In 1776, the Civil War, World War I and II, Korea, VietNam, the Gulf War and Iraqi Freedom... and all of the times in between. Our Military has always done an outstanding job of protecting us and their Country - in war and peace. The least we can do is give pause, prayer and pride in what they accomplished. We owe them a very great debt of gratitude.

And yes, Tom, you are absolutely right. Many of you earned it the hard way... and shared the gift with those of us who did not serve. Our sincerest thank you.
