What a blessing it is to raise a family in this wonderful country. It is certainly not without its challenges and tragedies, but I am continually grateful for the freedoms and privileges that we are able to enjoy. I admire and appreciate those who fought to make America a better place. There are so many brave men and women throughout history who fought for us to gain freedom and safety, and so many who raised their voice to make a difference in righting wrongs. Many still fight for us on the battlefront and the social and political front. Thank you! I am proud be an American! Happy 4th!
