I thank God for America. My son is home. Alive and well. He joined the Marines at 18 years old. Did 4 tours of duty. I lost about 10 years of my life over worrying during those years. He is 22 now, going to chefs school. He has been through so much. More than many of us will ever go through. No matter what you think of the war, please pray for our military. They are serving this country and have chosen to do it.

When you whine and complain about all that is wrong with America, thank the military for giving you the freedom to do that. If you complained about the government of Iran and you were a citizen there is no telling how you might just disappear or be punished.

The Iraqi people are thankful for our presence there. I just wish we would get the whole story and not just what the news wants us to hear. I am so glad my son is home. I pray for the families that do not have their sons, brothers, dads,etc home.

If you want to whine about this country and complain, I just want to know... Do you vote?

Do not take your freedoms lightly. Be thankful for this great country and the PRIVILAGES we have here.

Happy 4th of July and remember. God thanks for blessing America!!!!!
