~ 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!

Whoa! Thanks!
I will never forget the feeling I had inside when I came back to the States
from the Azores, Portugal. The great pride for my country I felt in coming home.
My Dad is retired Air Force and when I see soldiers coming home and kissing
the ground, I understand why they do that and have for most of my life.

Congratulations, TGYC....The first is always the most memorable;-)

You now belong to a great line of those sparks who have been before you in recieving the message that saves lives.

I couldn't begin to think of a better way to spend the 4th.

Thanks for keeping the Faith for Freedom, and for doing the duty that must be done 24/7.

Greg

Still not over. He goes with his dad sunday til sunday and last I heard he had no clothes for him. Great huh? I offered to have him pick him up from church, so we can pray for him before he goes. And then have him drop him with me the same at church sunday to sunday.
