thought I would share this email...........
Independence Day specifically recognizes the Second Continental Congress’ adoption of the Declaration of Independence. But we can extend our thoughts and reflections on this day, and honor the United States’ continuing commitment to protecting freedom and the spreading of democracy. Since declaring independence from Great Britain in 1776 (and sacrificing dearly to win it), the United States has risen as the world’s champion of liberty and freedom.
We should include in our thoughts on July 4th, 2009 not just the forefathers who resolved to sever ties with England, but also the men who fought so dutifully to defend the decision. And we should also take time to honor the sacrifice of all men and women who have worn U.S. military uniforms in the ensuing 232 years. These people have served to ensure our freedom and the freedom of people in foreign countries. Today we continue this struggle in Afghanistan and Iraq—and we know that freedom and liberty will prevail. People say “support the troops.” They could also say “support freedom.” Troops and freedom: The two are one and the same.
Service members who serve literally keep freedom alive and well.The men who signed that declaration in Philadelphia long ago would today be proud of our nation's heroes accomplishments. Proud, to see that their beliefs and convictions have been upheld and protected.
Happy Fourth of July! Please be safe and continue to support our troops!
A big thank you from all of us at Soldiers' Angels.

Happy 4th all. Its a time to reflect on the country we live in, what makes it great, and who paid the price to make it great.
That reflections truly makes me proud to be an American. More so than my ethnic heritage. I am first and foremost an American.

I remember last year at this time ABC's Good Morning America gave your great state some good air time with the showing of Mt. Rushmore and the related 4th activities. Gotta get back and see that beautiful place!
Hope all you S.D. people have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!
