As we celebrate the birthday of the United States, I just want to take a moment to share how grateful I am to live in this country and to beable to enjoy such great freedom. I know that it is a blessing and once for which i am truly grateful.

I also want to take a moment to thank those men and women who are willing to serve our country. It is because of the sacrifices of men and women willing to serve their country in the past and today that we are able to enjoy such freedems and for that I feel like I must say thanks.
