July Fourth is more than just a holiday. It's celebration goes to the beginnings of our country. It is meant to honor the patriotism of those 56 brave men who put their lives, families and property on the line, when they signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
We still have those who are fighting for those same freedoms and rights. Nathan, our neighbors son, is fighting in the war in Iraq. Fittingly on July 4th, today, he is on a flight landing at home as we speak.
The kids and we as a family are ready to say thank you. He is home for 2 weeks, so we don't want to take up much of his time. We are dressed in our red, white and blue, our flags are raised and the kids have drawn 'thank you' pictures for Mr. Nathan.
I for one, am thankful for the sacrifices he is making for our country. There are still those, who in a heart beat, would take this country down.
You may not personally know a soldier, but you can say thank you. Show you honor our country...wear red, white and blue and fly our flag.
Thank you Nathan! Enjoy your visit home! Thanks for keeping my family safe!
