The Fourth Of July is one of my favorite holidays. Not because we do anything special, but because it celebrates the most heroic. We are not forced into service for our country but given the willful choice to serve. I am free because someone made the choice to fight the war for me.
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. ~Elmer Davis
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. ~Author unknown
Many sit and critize the war in Iraq, but they fail to see one important point. These soliders did not go because they agree with the war, they went because they were asked to go. They made a decision to defend our country and not ask questions. They made a choice to leave their families, their homes, their jobs and friends, without a second thought.
My Brother-in-Law, Michael Shoop, is currently stationed overseas. It is a sacrifice of which I will never understand. I am but one person but my sincere thanks goes out to ALL the men and woman that are not home.
THANKS MIKE!!!! Hope you are home soon!
Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have. ~Harry Emerson Fosdick
