Please take a few moments to consider what
It was the sacrifice of human lives which established the country along with a continuing sacrifice to maintain it. Consider those that protect us today, in uniform or not, the families that support them, are left behind and how embarrassing little they are given for risking it all. They don’t do it for the money (as if), but because they feel it is a sacred duty and a means of giving back.
Honor them, because without them you wouldn’t have it as good as you do now no matter what your circumstances.
We’re not a perfect nation, but it’s my belief that over the span of time (without getting political) that we’ve helped more than we’ve hurt and we pretty much do a better job than other countries. We offer ‘The American Dream’ to buhzillions of immigrants every year who flock here because THEY believe it too. For the most part, they make us a stronger people.
Happy birthday
Now; it’s time for burning meats on the BBQ and homemade ice cream and watching the fireworks. If you drink ‘adult beverages’ please let someone else drive. Just remember how we’re able to do those things and what they gave for us.

PS it was over 100 here today, forecast to be even hotter each of the next two days. Would someone turn down the thermostat please? Sheesh.
