Happy Birthday America!

This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. ~Elmer Davis

In honor of our nation's birthday I would like to express my gratitude and heartfelt sympathy to our troops and their families. 
 
To all of the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country, I would like to say thank you for your immeasurable courage. To our troops that remain overseas, I hope you come home very soon. To the families that have a loved one overseas, my heart goes out to you for the concern you must have for them.  To the families that have tragically lost a loved one, you have my deepest and most sincere sympathy. 
 
Bless you all.
