Happy 4th of July!

However you are celebrating, may it be with those you love, and also be safe and happy!

I want to take a few minutes to express my gratitude to our forefathers who I know were inspired to write the Declaration of Independence, and also for those who risked their lives to start this great nation, as well as those who continue to risk their lives daily to defend it. Thank you!

May we all take the time today and remember the words stated in the preamble of The Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

May these words echo in your mind this day, and remind you, as they have me, that we are blessed to live in this truly wonderful country that affords us such great freedoms-God Bless the U.S.A!

Thanks Andrea for reminding us all that today is not just about fireworks, hot dogs and watermelon. We should all thank God for all those that fought for our freedom and made this country what it is today!
