Happy Independence Day!!!


"We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die: Our won Country's Honor, all call upon us for vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world. Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions". . . . . . .
George Washington, General Orders, July 2, 1776

Please remember our soldiers:

Soldier's Angels
United Warrior Survivor Foundation (Special Forces)
Operation Gratitude

"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheiritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again." . . . . . . . Ronald Reagan

And don't forget "The Top Ten Reasons Thinking Americans Love Their Country."

Thank you for posting those links. People would be surprised at the number of military members who have litle or no contact with anyone back home. Of four Marines I was e-mailing, aboard a deployed carrier, two had difficulty communicating with their fathers. Just having someone here to listen to what they had to say was valuable to them. Taking a little of our time is very worthwhile and rewarding. Just do it!
