Happy Independence Day!

This definitely a "better late than never" post. It was queued up to post at 6:30 this morning, but it obviously didn't post as scheduled.

Happy Independence Day! Like Memorial Day and Veteran's Day, the 4th of July brings about a wave of appreciation for our Armed Forces from most people. I too am one of those people. I thank our founding fathers for leaving the rule of England to come here for "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"; and I thank our Armed Forces now for protection those ideals. They fight so we can live the wonderful (usually) lives that we lead. They are true heroes.

I'm so proud of JC, G, Al, Trebor and the rest of their crew; and I'm happy to be one of the many stateside that support them. (Guys, if you see this... I miss you!)

Despite not being a typical "patriotic" song, this is one of my favorites. OK, go off and enjoy the fireworks and BBQs! I want to hear all about the fun you had this weekend. :-)

Oh.... did you enter my giveaway? It's ending at midnight EST on Tuesday!
