Happy Independence Day

First, thank you to all our airmen, soldiers, marines, and sailors who served or who have served. Without you all, we wouldn't even have an Independence Day. The other day, I was at the dentist's office and I heard something that made me sad. The receptionist told this lady to have a happy 4th and she replied back, "It's just any ol' day to me". I wished I would've spoken up, but in the fear of sounding cliche or judgemental, I didn't. 4th of July isn't any ol' day. It means much more than that. Today it means that there are thousands of our military members serving overseas, away from their family and friends...away from the comforts of home and without the protection that we so take for granted. Most in harm's way in countries that have no clue about Independence and what it means. Do they really appreciate what we are doing??? I'm thinking about personal friends and a family member that are in Iraq and Afghanistan right now. Reminds me of the Lone Star song so as a tribute to them, I added it to my blog. God bless America.
