My dad drove in last night for a quick visit. Short but sweet. We exercised this morning for over an hour and then stuffed ourselves with ribs and steak. Poor Don is post call, so no July 4th festivities for him. Dad made sure to adorn the front yard with some red, white, and blue. In the midst of our BBQing and fireworks I hope that everyone reflects on the wonderful liberties we have as Americans. Give thanks for our freedom and embrace the fundamental truths that have established this privilege!
Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. ~Dick Cheney
