By now, you’ve all exhausted your supply of fireworks and have shared your gratitude with those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Don’t forget to remember the blessings we share in this nation… freedom to do and say most anything we wish as long as we don’t impinge on the freedoms of others.

The freedom for which I am most grateful is that of religion. I may not believe the same as everyone else in this country, but by giving them that freedom, I, too, have the freedom to worship as I believe. God bless America!
