  I just can’t help myself. Have to post an early 4th of July entry.

  What a holiday. It ranks in my top three.

  I think about my Daddy and his service in the Marine Corps.  I think of men I personally know who are serving this country in an effort to preserve our freedom. ***Doug, James, Frank, Foster, Keith, Brian, and John.***

  I think of all those I’ll never meet who have given their lives for you and I.
  Complete strangers.

  Thank you.

  O thus be it ever when free-men shall stand
  Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation;
  Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land
  Praise the Pow’r that hath made and preserv’d us a nation!
  Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
  And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!”
  And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
  O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
