You know the old joke - "Does England have a Fourth of July?"  Well of course they do . . . but not like ours.

 

July the 4th is not just the day after the 3rd for us.  It is perhaps the most important day in our history.  The events leading up to that day in 1776 and the consequences that followed literally changed the world.

 

Enjoy the day, celebrate our freedoms.  Just don't forget the men and women who, throughout history and to this very day, sacrifice their lives to make this country a beacon of freedom and liberty to all nations.
