It is something we celebrate happily, but something that should never be taken for granted. Celebrate your freedoms, but never abuse them. Remember always that so many sacrificed so that we may enjoy the freedoms we have in the United States of America. There are still so many countries in the world that don’t have the freedoms we do. I’m grateful to be an American. I try to honor that everyday, but should I forget any other day…I never forget on the 4th of July.
Hope your 4th of July finds you healthy, happy and grateful.

I’m also grateful for people who, despite whatever isn’t perfect, appreciate the best country this world has ever known, and gives credit to the men and women who keep it free. Thanks, Amber.
