A little late...
I hope y'all had an enjoyable 4th of July. I sure did! What better time to celebrate the birthday of this great country we live in with friends and family. I have some amazing plans for the holiday weekend! I will fill you all in when I return in a few days.
But, this also reminds me that our freedom isn't free. We as a country have men and women fighting for our freedom on a daily basis. There are men and women who are currently overseas that won't be able to celebrate this holiday with friends or family because they are serving our country. Two of my cousins and one of my nephews have been overseas in the last few years. Thankfully, they all made it home with out a scratch bravely serving our country.
Currently, my best friend, Jessica is serving in Afghanistan. You can read about her deployment here.
While we are out celebrating the 4th of July with our friends and families don't forget to think about the soldiers that will be spending their holiday holding a gun, battling weather conditions and wishing they could be home to spend time with their friends and family.
A huge thank you goes out to all the soldiers and veterans that are fighting and who have fought for our country.
