Happy Birthday, America. After a week of travel, I couldn't help but notice from city to city... the trappings of red, white and blue that are being displayed. There's nothing that will bring tears quicker than showing patriotism in a heartfelt way. Families across this great nation will gather in a few days to celebrate the fourth of July in some memorable way. From food displays, creative cocktails to the decor.... Red, white and blue will be shining bright from small communities and towns to large metropolis areas. As I sit here thinking about the holiday and my own celebration, I'm reminded of the military who continue to serve and represent the USA every single day. Their attire may not be the traditional red, white and blue... but their hearts are emblazoned with it. We should never forget the sacrifices made by those past, present and future of these brave men and women in uniform, along with their families.
Fireworks will light up the night sky as our day of picnics, parades, bbq, baseball and more draws to a close. The oohs and ahhs will bring smiles from young and old alike as the rockets red glare burst the skies from coast to coast. It's a profound moment if you think about it.... Together, one nation, under God.... we stand united and we celebrate the birth of our nation...proudly. Today, we are not republicans, democrats or independents... today, we are all Americans coming together as one.
America... Land of the Free and Home of the Brave... just remember the next time you hear the Star Spangled Banner, whether it's on the fourth of July or any other day of the year... stand tall and proud and honor the country we are all so blessed and fortunate to call our home.
God Bless the USA!
