4th of July!

I'm not sure why, but the 4th of July is always a good reflection time for me, usually during the fireworks. I can't help but think of Francis Scott Key, and what images he was seeing as he wrote the Star Spangled Banner, or the many brave soldiers who have given their lives for our country's freedom. I'm so very thankful for their service. I'm also grateful for the founding fathers, and the inspiration they received in order to make our Nation great. Even though I've been a bit pesimistic about the way things have been going lately in our Country, yesterday was a good day to remember what we really have to be thankful for.
