Independence Day in America

For most Americans, today is just another holiday in which we do not have to go to work. It's a day in which our plans evolve around having fun with our families and our friends with plenty of food and drinks for everyone. It's a day for fun in the sun. However, most American's fail to take a moment on this day to reflect on the reasons we enjoy this day in our history. It's because of our brave soldiers that Americans are free to practice the religion of our choice, or not. And to have the freedom to speak our minds, or not. It's because of our brave soldiers that Americans can feel safe to walk thru each day without fear. I hope that each of you take a moment sometime today to count your blessings and pray for all the brave soldiers around the world who are committed to fighting this war against terrorism.

I had the pleasure of meeting the guys Jason is spending the next 15 months with when I went to pick up his truck one week before he deployed. I met each of these guys parents that night as well. Their parents should be very proud of their sons. They are all highly skilled and brave young soldiers. Please keep these brave men in your prayers.
