On this day, our nation's birthday, let us celebrate it together in hopes that our nation's leaders remember why we celebrate this day, the cost to those who gave us this day of celebration and the words and deeds of those who stood fast against all odds and with great personal sacrifice to make a young and struggling nation free of totalitarian rule. If we ever forget where we came from, where we've been, and what we achieved through the grace of God then those of the ilk who govern our nation today will surely have won.
Do Fourth of July parades turn kids into Republicans?
A recent Harvard study suggests that attending a July 4 parade during childhood increases the likelihood of becoming a card-carrying Republican later in life
Have A Safe & Sane 4th of July,
P.I.

Well said P.I. We must remember establishing freedom and keeping it is never easy. There always has been and forever will be those who wish to dominate other peoples and impose their will upon others. As long as we practice vigilance and determination to stay free we will be. Our founding ancestors left us a wise instrument called the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as a guide. With Diligence in protecting them freedom will stand.

Hey handyman2........I was told when you go to Heaven and to Saint Peter you will tell " Another Marine reporting Sir I served my time in hell, " St Peter will then assign an another Marine who knew you, and to show you around Heaven and assign you to your post...with my luck that Marine will probably be some guy who doesn't like me..  |

This is the third year the first family has honored military heroes and their families with the July Fourth barbecue, concert and fireworks. As he has in the past, the president will deliver remarks during the celebration.
