Post Thinking About Saturday and

These words came to mind;



"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves;
whether they are to have any property they can call their own;
whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed,
and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them.

The fate of unborn millions will now depend on God,
on the courage and conduct of this army.
Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only
the choice of brave resistance,
or the most abject submission.
We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die."

George Washington
Founding Father, 1st US President, 'Father of the Country'
July 2, 1776

Another quote my Dad taught me.

"He who goes forth with a fifth on the Fourth, may not come forth on the Fifth!"

Stay safe on the roads.

If you drink,

don't drive.

And ALWAYS watch out for the OTHER driver............they might not be as sober as you are.

Having a Trooper come to your door with bad news:
it is priceless folks.
think before you drink.


I think of the latest fighting forces and think that I have my Independence because of them. my salute for the 4th is a bowed head, I guess.

Breathe taking memorial, you should stay there and spend time with them while they tour it.

One of the guy's I work with went to France for the D-day remembrance/celebration with his grandfather, a veteran of Normandy. They did the entire 3 week tour. He brought me back a water bottle full of sand from Omaha beach.
