Happy Fourth of July!
May we remember those who have given their lives for the daily freedoms which we take for granted. May we remember those who have sacrificed the lives and the dreams and the ideals that we claim to hold dear - for all of those who stood up against the storm - for the brave people who cared, even when those they protected sat idoly by and watched television - for all the families who have suffered the loss of a loved one - for one death too young, and another unnecessary. I personally salute each and every one of you. America may be bold, It may be brave, and arrogant and corrupt. Whatever it is, I'm proud today. Proud to be among the living. Proud to be among the growing, and earning, and paying, and sacrificing few. It's meaningful to be alive today - especially standing in the light of the fireworks. Lit for the memory of the dead, and of the freedoms which we share. May we never forget what that means, and may we personalize this experience daily. God bless America, and the rest of the planet equally.

America...has so much potential...so much given to it...but yet so much taken for granted and too much of a bully within a fragile world. I hope that one day, soon, we can once again remember how lucky we are to have what we have and share that with the rest of the world. hmmm... Bless the World!!
