It's the most gorgeous day I think I've ever seen on the 4th of July - 80 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, low humidity - just fantastic. It's a great day to count our blessings and celebrate 232 years of American independence - and thank all the soldiers and veterans who've sacrificed to ensure our freedom.
A special thank you to our "Cookie Battery" - the Soldiers of Alpha Battery, 3rd Bn, 320th Field Artillery Regiment serving right now in Iraq. God bless you and keep you all.
And for all of us, a reminder of the eloquence and faith of the Founding Fathers in the opening words of the Declaration of Independence:
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
God bless America.

Wouldn't it be great if, for just one day, every newspaper in America printed that on the front page and absolutely nothing else. I would love to see the various reactions, some not nice at all I'm sure, but I'm betting it would get plenty of positive responses too &, hopefully, make some stop and really think about it.
Good blog kiddo!
