Independence Day

I am a proud American, I love my country and the people who make up this great nation. This country gained its independence because of ordinary men who stood up for what they knew was right. What was right for not only them, but their friends and neighbors and the country. The people came together to say they wanted to be free. They could not vote their way to freedom, they had to put everything on the line, and fight for freedom and I am in total awe of their bravery. Freedom is worth fighting for. It is the people who made this country great, not politicians, not interest groups, not judges. Today politicians have lost touch with the people, interest groups run our country, and judges try to rewrite the constitution from the bench. Our independence depends on one thing, the people. On this July 4, 2008 I think it’s time we the people go back to our founding fathers, read the Declaration of Independence, and feel that spirit, that bravery, we must do what is right for this country. Our independence, our freedom depends on it.
For those who serve you have my deepest respect. Our greatest men and women volunteer to defend our great nation. Their bravery is commendable, without them we would not be here. Thank you.

My father's KC135. He flew in Vietnam.The KC 135 is a refueler. The B25 flew in WWII.
Not all defenders are human!
My husband's UH 60 Blackhawk. Thank you for your service Honey! F 18 Hornet flown by Lieutenant Stacy Foley, her skill and bravery took my breath away. And the Missing Man Salute preformed by the Lima Lima Flight Team left me with tears streaming down my face!

Our vote is the peoples strongest power, know who you are voting for before casting your ballot.
