We would like to take this opportunity to pause and say a prayer for all of our friends and family who are serving or have served in the military. We know that freedom isn't free and so many have given their lives so that we can enjoy the freedoms that we sometimes take for granted.
God bless you and your family during this lovely holiday weekend! Here are a few interesting quotes we thought you might enjoy.
"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
-John F. Kennedy (JFK)
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. ~Elmer Davis
You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. ~Erma Bombeck
The United States is the only country with a known birthday. ~James G. Blaine
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. ~Abraham Lincoln
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes! ~Maya Angelou
My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy! ~Thomas Jefferson
