The end has come to another Independence Day celebration. I hope you all had a safe and happy holiday. I spent some of my time reflecting on a couple of thing I thought I would share with you.
We seem to have lost the true meaning of this holiday and what we are really celebrating. I cringe and yet hold my tongue when others wish me a "Happy 4th of July". True it is the 4th day of July be more importantly we need to remember we are celebrating our independence, and freedom. It is with great pride that I return peoples "Happy 4th of July" greeting with a heartfelt " Have a safe and happy Independence Day"
In my mind the most important thing we should all do on this holiday is thank each and every, past, present and future member of the armed forces of this country for defending our right to have celebrated so many Independence Days.
