Patriotism is not
short, frenzied outbursts of emotion,
but the tranquil and steady
dedication of a lifetime.
Adlai E. Stevenson
I'm all packed and ready to celebrate another year of independence. But before I go, my thanks go out today to all the people who've loved liberty more than life. Who've placed country above comfort and patriotism above pride. I find solace in the freedom so many have fought and died to establish and protect. I'm thankful to be a citizen of this great land that I love.
May God forgive, heal, and bless our America.
Wishing you a safe and magical Independence Day with someone you love. -Brin
Hey! I love the 4th-it's my favorite holiday and I too appreciate those who've sacrified more than I ever would dream of for our freedom.
ReplyDeleteThe best fireworks show I ever saw was with you that time I came to
visit.
Hope you have a Happy Fourth:)

Hey...where is everybody today?!? Anyway, I did just what you said to do today, be with someone I love. Well, not only was I with my friend and husband, I got to spend time with some fun, family and friend girls like Kimberly, Wendy, Jodie and Gina eating, shopping and laughing! Hope your day is terrific Miss Brin.
