I am back from Germany and I can not wait to show you all the pictures from the trip.
I would like to first take a minute and share with you my feelings about this very important day. Today we celebrate our Independance from Great Britian that happened July 4, 1776. Not only are we celebrating and remembering that special day we need to remember that we live free and independant everyday. Most of us take this for granted. You may not realize that everything has a cost. We can not live free just because 235 years ago some man wrote a note that said that we should be free. America is able to keep it's freedom because it has shown that it is the strongest country in the world. Fortunatley I am able to see that strength because of where I am.
Being on a US Military base there are brave men and women who have given their lives to fight for your freedom. Remember that the ultimate cost of freedom is the life of a soldier who has fought in active duty. While we watch fireworks don't forget that you are free because of someone else. Take a minute today and share this thought with your family or a friend. If you have a chance, thank a soldier for fighting for your freedom. Remember "Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone" if you do not tell someone you appreciate them they will never know.
Have a Great 4th of July!
