Remember...

Remember what we celebrate today..
Remember the people who have died in the 231 years since we became a country and who are still fighting today, right now..
Remember how free we are, to say, do and believe what we want..
Remember not to take those freedoms for granted..

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!!!
