Remember....

...why it is that we celebrate Independence Day

...the men & women fighting to preserve that freedom

...the families of the soldiers at home, fighting their own wars

...that freedom is a choice

...and some give up their freedom, so you can have yours

Today, as America celebrates our independence, I pray you'll take time to think about what your life would be like without the freedoms that we experience...that you'll find a soldier or veteran and shake their hand and thank them for their sacrifice...that you'll stop for just a moment and pray for those who are still fighting to make sure America remains the "land of the free and the home of the brave."

Happy Independence Day!
