Happy 4th of July everyone!! Hope everyone had a nice and safe holiday. Last night, our family got together, had a bbq, and lit fireworks. We had the old standby, bbq hamburgers (yum!!). When it got dark, we started lighting fireworks. It's become tradition in our family that every 4th we stay home and do our own fireworks.
I am so grateful to be an American and to have been born in a free country!! There are so many countries in the world who do not have even half of the freedoms we have as Americans. I'm so grateful for those who have sacrificed and died in order for us to have a free nation.
This time of year always reminds me of the following song by Lee Greenwood.
God Bless The USA
by Lee Greenwood
If tomorrow all the things were gone,I’d worked for all my life.And I had to start again,with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars,to be livin here today.‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,and they can’t take that away.
And I’m proud to be an American,where at least I know I’m free.And I wont forget the men who died,who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,next to you and defend her still today.‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,to the hills of Tennessee.Across the plains of Texas,From sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston,and New York to L.A.Well there's pride in every American heart,and its time we stand and say.
That I’m proud to be an American,where at least I know I’m free.And I wont forget the men who died,who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,next to you and defend her still today.‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,God bless the USA.

I am so proud to be an American. We need to always remember what a wonderful country we live in.
