I hope today finds you enjoying a relaxing, fun-filled day celebrating our nation's independence.  July 4th is a day to remember the sacrifices of generations past and to celebrate the Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness enshrined in our cherished Declaration of Independence. 236 years ago today, the church bells rang out in Philadelphia as the Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence...and in doing so changed the course of human history.

Our nation's commitment to the perseverance of individual liberties is the envy of the world. But such a commitment doesn't come without sacrifice and an obligation to keep the flame of freedom burning bright.

As President Ronald Reagan said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

Today, as you see 'Old Glory' proudly waving please remember that freedom is not free. And America's best days lie ahead if we recommit ourselves to the basic freedoms and liberties our Founding Fathers fought and died for.   

God Bless and Happy Independence Day.
