I graduated high school in 1976, our nation’s bicentennial. At the age of 18, I never put much thought into what that meant. I enlisted in the military the following year and that’s when I began to understand just how blessed I was to be a citizen of the United States of America - the greatest nation in the history of the world. Serving in the military, I gained a deep appreciation for those who fought and gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I was proud to have served.
Have a safe and happy Independence Day, everyone. And please say a prayer for our great nation,  and those who fight every day to keep us free.
