This land is your land.

Independence Day. A day used in celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. July 4Th, 1776...a day that we've turned into BB Q's, fireworks, carnivals, parades, and over indulgence in alcohol. Which, in all honesty, I guess we have the freedom to do now.
Maybe this year, let's not forget we have men and women fighting for this country right now, as they have been for almost 10 years in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Let's remember their families, and their friends...who are wishing nothing more than to have those men and women home with them to celebrate. And let's toast to the fallen men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice so we could go soak up the sun with a beer in hand on a pontoon boat or on beach or some one's backyard, and laugh and enjoy everything life has to offer.

Be safe everyone, and enjoy life this weekend.

Cheers.
