On the 4th of July, it is so very easy just to think of it as just another day off with the family. Picnics, Family Reunions, baseball and softball tourneys, trips to Dairy Queen with dripping cones and a day at the your favorite beach(or the one you are vacation at) are all awesome parts of this holiday.

We cook burger while the struggle to get supplies to hungry volunteers in the really rag tag army that came together based on the belief of freedom from tyranny.
We race after our children in the park as the family gathers for the reunion while youngster barely teenagers may have been running from seasoned British troop, hoping to find a hiding spot in the brush and woods that they knew so well.

Celebrate the 4th by celebrating the men and women that gave us this chance to celebrate by first declaring their freedom over 200 years ago.
We continue to declare "Freedom"
Let us remember
