Happy Birthday America!

This holiday and Thanksgiving are my favorite. I absolutely love Independence Day for what it stands for, and will always stand for. It's a time not only for barbecues, picnics, and fireworks (and in our case, golf cart parades), but a time to thank those who have served our country in the past and continue to serve this great country today. It's an absolutely awesome holiday.

"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all people are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among a people, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

Happy 4th of July to you and yours. And again, to those military members - past, present, and future - thank you for fighting for our freedoms. I hope you have a safe holiday. Enjoy the fireworks!

God Bless America!
