Carpe Diem on the 4th

Here's wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July.

Many will spend this weekend celebrating Indepence Day with friends and family.

Watching fireworks, cooking out, going to the parades.

Take the time to be with the ones you love and who love you. Work can wait, it will be there Monday when you return.

Remember those who have, and are in the service for our country. The sacrifices they have made are hard to repay, but a thank you goes along way.

It's a holiday, but a holiday that was granted to us by the men of 1776 and enforced by the men and women throughout history to the present day. Thank You, may we remember you always.

Carpe Diem and make it a safe holiday.

Duane,

My hat goes off to them as well!!! Thanks, Fran

Amen !!!! I know i will be honoring our military on the 4th.

Have a great weekend- I'm headed to Chicago- hope to see a few fireworks!! cw

Fran, thanks for stopping by. Have a Happy 4th my Brother.

Duane

Amen! We are so lucky to have people sacrifice whatever they have to in order to make our country not only exist, but excell.

Vicki, kudos to you, enjoy the 4th.

Carpe Diem,

Duane

Duane, the real meaning of Independence Day as you pointed out is the freedom we have to have those cookouts and watch the fireworks.

Hi Duane...About an hour ago I made a note to post something about the Declaration of Independence. You did it for me. Thanks.

Kathleen

Girl Cheryl, enjoy that trip and be safe.

Duane, I love that you included the picture! I haven't yet decided if I am going to make my annual trek to the beach, it's about 2 million now each year and we may get some severe thunderstorms....but it will be a great day and night, regardless. I wish you a very happy July 4th!

Very nice Duane. It is important that we remember those who have gone to their end defending our rights. My husband and son will be in Gettysburg at the 145th anniversary of that horrible battle honoring and remembering those who fought brother against brother to preserve our country. We must never forget the horrible price we have paid to remain free and unified. Happy 4th to you Duane

Duane, I think we ought to really stop and appreciate Freedom. And I think stopping and thanking those around us in the military and letting them know our appreciation is a great thing to make every day, but an EXTRA effort on the fourt would be GREAT!

Rebecca, so true, thankfully we have those special people to protect us.

Gary, you are right, without our freedom none of this would be possible. Enjoy your 4th and your freedom.

Duane

Kate, GMTA glad I could help in the team work, wink. Enjoy your 4th.

Duane

Hi Duane, Thank You for your powerful post! Freedom was purchased for us as a nation with profound price!

Duane: Thanks for sharing this awesome post! We need to remember WHY we're celebrating and thank those who have made our lives of freedom possible! Happy Fourth to you as well...

Debe in Charlotte

Carole, you have to go for it, the beach would be great and relaxing, you deserve it. Have a Happy and safe holiday,

Duane

Paddy, will they be in the reenactment? If so, hope you get some photos to share. Happy 4th to you and the family.

Gerard, this holiday we all have the chance and choice to go the extra step in thanking them.

Have a great 4th.

Dan, so true, well said.

Duane, thank you for the well wishes! How important it is that we all remember what July 4 is all about. All to often I believe we forget the true reason for this day. Thank you also for including the document as well. We may need to send some copies of it back to Washington to remind some of those up there what it is all about!

Debe, they seem to get swept under the fun rug with all that goes on over the holiday.

Happy 4th,

Duane

Stephen, great point on sending it to our law makers, a refresher course is what they all could use.

Happy 4th,

Duane
