Happy 4th of July! What does this day mean for you?

Our country has fought so hard to become independent!

My husband and I rarely watch t.v. together.  I thoroughly enjoy the detective shows and profiling shows, and my husband isn't much of a t.v. person. 

Last night we sat down together to watch t.v together and started watching a program on George Washington and how he sacrificed most of his adult life for our country, even when there was nothing he would have loved more than to rest at his Mount Vernon Estate.

I am not a history buff or history expert, but to watch his sacrifice for our country was riveting.  What our country went thru to become established, with the help of France and many courageous men and families is incredible. I know I take for granted what individuals within our nation have sacrificed, and watching this show about George Washington was a great reminder of those sacrifices.  It made this 4th of July more special than any other after watching this.

We have such incredible opportunities here, and every day I think about that.  We wouldn't have that if it wasn't for these fore fathers, and military then and now.

I pray that America continues to know what it is to have Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
