Yes, I know it's still June, but I, along with others, are planning July 4th picnics, parties and BBQ's. Deciding where to go to watch fireworks, and so on. But I want to pause all the planning for a moment to remember the people that keep us Free to plan these parties. Yes, I'm talking about our Armed Forces. These men and women who willingly serve their country. They serve for a lot of reasons, but the biggest is to keep our country safe. They don't get high $$ paychecks. They do get benefits, but not equal to their tasks. Most put their lives on the line, daily. At any moment they can be called away from their families and friends. So, no matter how you feel about the war, our soldiers deserve our respect, as they are defending our rights and our freedoms. As you go about your holiday planning, say a prayer for our soldiers. Remember, freedom isn't free. Someone has paid a price. I hope you all have a safe and happy JULY 4th!!!
