Oh, man, do I LOVE this AMAZING country!!!

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Today, during your celebrations, please just take a moment to think of why we are able to celebrate today...because brave men and women, going back hundreds of years to our Founding Fathers right up to our troops today, have fought the good fight to keep this great nation of ours the land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE!!! And please honor the majestic red, white, & blue of our flag!!!

You would have appreciated one of the lectures we had at the museum today - a shortened biography of ALL the signers of the Declaration of Independence. It was fantastic and so informative. Wish you could have been there!

I hope you're enjoying your weekend with all of your loved ones. :) xoxoxo.; 7/04/2010 7:11 PM
