Happy 4th Of July Week!!

I love the Fourth Of July!!! I love being an American, and all the freedoms and responsibilities that go along with it. I love that we have men and women who are willing to sacrifice their time, talents and most importantly their lives for this country. Three years ago this summer my family was celebrating the return home of my two brothers from Iraq and Afghanistan, yet mourning the loss of my cousin, who wasn't as lucky. Both my brothers and my cousin entered the Untied States Army believing they could make a difference. Because of them and all the men and women who serve, America is a safer place. My challenge to you this week is to find a soldier or veteran and tell them thank you. Go online and find out what you can do to make their lives a little easier while there over seas. I remembered how much my brothers look forward to getting their care packages! I also remember them asking us to send extras because there were soldiers that received nothing! Most importantly keep are armed forces and their families in your thoughts and prayers this week and every week for that matter.
