~ A Message from Snow Bunny ~

4 July is not just a day to party, cook out,
go to the beach, or recreate in a myriad of ways.

4 July has a much more profound meaning.

4 July is all about: Belleau Woods,
Inchon, Khe Sahn, Guadalcanal, Kuwait,
Tarawa, Chosin Reservoir, Grenada,
Bougainville, Hue City, Panama, Iwo Jima,
Somalia, Beirut, Peleilu, and many
other places where the price of freedom came due.

4 July is a day of celebration in our nation
precisely because of what so many unsung
heroes were willing to do
in order to make it so.

4 July comes and goes every year,
overshadowed often by summer vacations
and busy schedules.

4 July, however, brings to the forefront
in many hearts, the knowledge of what America might be
if not for the courage, sacrifice,
and dedication of the finest of her sons and daughters.

4 July is a day for every Veteran,
and those serving, to receive the recognition
that should come from a people,
who owe the precious gift of freedom to these gallant warriors
and servants of our Constitution..

4 July is a day in which we,
the "protected," stand and salute you.
Your efforts often go unrewarded and unrecognized
in a manner befitting you.

4 July is a day for at least myself
and you wonderful Freepers, to attempt
to honor these men and women properly
and to say, "Thank You."

What you have done, and continue to do
every day, makes it possible
for my family and I
to celebrate on 4 July,
and to live in "The Land Of The Free."

We can never repay you sufficiently for this privilege.

May God bless each of you!

Hi John, Happy 4th my dear friend, Thank you so much.

[Jeff Head]

Happy 4th! and thank you both for all you do.

May we always celebrate and defend the miraculous and priceless liberty we enjoy!

... and may we always attribute it to its proper source and wellspring, to Him who endowed us with it and who protects it to this day.

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you Eastbound for sending this to me!!!!

A TOAST TO THE FLAG

Here's to the red of it--There's not a thread of it, No, nor
a shred of it, In all the spread of it, From foot to head,
But heroes bled for it, faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it, Bathing in Red!

Here's to the white of it--Thrilled by the sight of it, Who
knows the right of it, But feels the might of it, Through
day and night? Womanhood's care for it, Made manhood
dare for it, Purity's prayer for it, Keeps it so White!

Here's to the blue of it--Beauteous view of it, Heavenly
hue of it, Star-spangled dew of it, Constant and true;
Diadem gleam for it, States stand supreme for it, Liberty's
beam for it, Brightens the Blue!

Here's to the whole of it--Stars, stripes and pole of it,
Body and soul of it, O, and the roll of it, Sun shining
through; Hearts in accord with it, Swear by the sword for
it, Thanking the Lord for it, Red, White and Blue!

Hi, Hello, How are You...

I am going to work at Madison Square Garden tomorrow, so I hope you will have fun while I keep one of NYC's landmarks safe!!

[socal_parrot]

Thank you so much for what you do. I know you like President Reagan. Here is a picture of my daughter and the Gipper from a recent trip to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum.

God Bless You for all you do.

[Snow Bunny]

Hi, so good to see you. Thank you.

Happy July 4th my friend, have a fabulous day.

Happy Independence Day All!

Thank you so much Coteblanche for helping us celebrate our Independence Day. You're more "American" than some of our own citizens.

[Snow Bunny]

What a great place you will be for July 4th.I bet they have fireworks there after the game.We used to go to the Dodger game every July 4th when we lived in Calif.

So good to see you my friend. Happy July 4th.

[lizma]

FYI: This evening the White House is featuring a webcam on top of the White House to watch the fireworks on the mall. It will be like watching it with W and Laura!
(well, LOL, maybe not.)

But still pretty cool!

[DontMessWithMyCountry]

Well, aren't you the Sweetest Thang! And, a

Happy Fourth of July

to you, too!!!
