“I thank God for my life, for the stars and stripes. May freedom forever fly, let it ring. Salute the ones who died, the ones who give their life, so we don’t have to sacrifice all the things we love.”

Happy birthday, America! As we all soak up the sunshine and take in tonight’s fireworks displays, don’t forget to take a minute to think of and thank the servicemen and women who fought and continue to fight for our beloved country. Let freedom ring today and every day in your honor.

I hope that everybody enjoys the rest of the holiday weekend – cheers!
