Happy 4th, everyone. I hope the weather is good where you are and you get to enjoy a day of BBQ, adult beverages, and quality time with family and friends. Now off to my birthday activities...
 
My most memorable 4th was 1976 on Diego Garcia... I still wonder if that missing case of TNT was ever found (ROTFLMAO)

Happy Birthday USA

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA , AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR
WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! Including Religious Freedom
For all of our other military personnel, where ever they may be.

Please Support all of the troops defending our Country.

And God Bless our Military

who are protecting our Country for our Freedom. Thanks to them, and their sacrifices, we can celebrate the 4th of July.


We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have,
of which we should be eternally grateful.

I watched the flag pass by one day.
It fluttered in the breeze.


A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease.


I looked at him in uniform;
so young, so tall, so proud.
With hair cut square and eyes alert,
he'd stand out in any crowd.


I thought how many men like him
had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil;
how many mothers' tears?


How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea?
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
NO, FREEDOM ISN'T FREE !


I heard the sound of Taps one night,
when everything was still.
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.

I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant 'Amen.'

When a flag had draped a coffin
of a brother or a friend.


I thought of all the children,
of the mothers and the wives,
of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.


I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea.

Of unmarked graves in Arlington ..
NO FREEDOM ISN'T FREE


Enjoy Your Freedom
and God Bless Our Troops.

When you receive this,
please stop for a moment
and say a prayer for our servicemen.


Of all the gifts you could give a U.S. Soldier, prayer is the very best one.
