Happy 4th of July!

I just wanted to take a minute and say how blessed I am to live in such a great country. I also want to thank some special people that have kept this country safe and free. First of all my brother Ken was in the Army back in the 80's. Mark's brother Jim served in the Navy and his brother Ed and his wife Carol served in the Marines Mark's brother-in-law Chris also served in the Marines. Then Thank You to a few that I know personally or have made "acquaintance" with through the years. Noah and his wife Heather and children are currently in TX while Noah is serving in the Army. James and Henryetta Price and children are in KY with James serving in the Army (we'll be praying for you all in the months of James' deployment!!) Stephen and Tracey Miller and children are currently in AK with a deployment facing them this fall. Bradley Cunningham has already been through 2 deployments and is currently serving in the Army stationed in CA. Andy and Kara Plank and son live in PA with Andy being deployed in Afghanistan. Thank you to all the soldiers past and present who have sacrificed so much to give us the freedom that we enjoy. So on this day of fireworks, cookouts, and fun may we not forget the reason we are able to enjoy all of this with peace of mind and safety.
