HELLO PATRIOTS!

As you celebrate the 4th of July holiday weekend with family and friends, remember those who are serving to protect us and all of those who gave their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today.  The 4th of July is a celebration of those freedoms!  Flags, fireworks, family, friends and tons of fun! 

Be safe and have a fantastic holiday weekend.

In honor of the 4th, I just couldn't help myself.  Here are the lyrics to a little Lee Greenwood - God Bless the U.S.A.!!  Go ahead, sing along! 

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say...

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
