Happy 4th of July! Shoot fireworks, go to a BBQ, but remember why we are able to be free today. Keep in mind the people who fight for our freedom. Sometimes even give their lives.
I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land; God bless the U.S.A!
WHEN A SOLDIER COMES HOME
....he finds it hard....
....to listen to his son complain about being bored.
....to keep a straight face when people complain about potholes.
....to be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work.
....to be understanding when someone complains about a bad night's sleep.
....to be silent when people pray to God from a new car.
....to control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower.
....to be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying.
....to keep from laughing when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp.
....to keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather.
....to control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold.
....to remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog.
....to be civil to people who complain about their jobs.
....to just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year.
....to be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house.
The only thing that's harder than being a soldier....
....is loving one.
Take the time today to thank God for placing men in America (like our strong soldiers), so that we can have the freedom we have today!
Happy Independence Day!!
