Independence

 Our Fourth of July celebrations are just around the corner.  I know, I take the freedoms we have in America for granted.  Instead of being incredibly grateful, I can think I'm owed those freedoms.  We are so blessed to live in the land of the free, home of the brave.  

Anytime I see an America flag I am proud of my country.  Of course all of our forefathers didn't do everything right but neither do I.  I pray for forgiveness of my sins and the sins of my forefathers.  

I purpose to celebrate with a heart of gratitude for those who fought and died protecting our freedoms.  I am thankful for those in our military who continue to fight for peace across our world.  There is alot of turmoil currently.  There has always been wars and rumors of wars.

Let us vow to try to keep the peace in our little piece of the world everyday in our everyday lives.

Have a happy and blessed Fourth of July with a bang.

Moving forward,

Let Freedom Ring

 Happy Birthday America.  The home of the brave.  The land of freedom.  We proudly fly our flag and look to lady Liberty as we remember the blood and sacrifices that others gave for us.  

I am proud to be an American and celebrate all that the United States represents.  I have found great success as a father, husband and business owner because I live in a land that allows me the freedom to do that.  As you enjoy this beautiful day think about your freedoms.  Don't pass up any opportunity to be grateful for all you have and for the Creator that gives us the ultimate freedom. 

God Bless America.

Moving forward,

Let's Shoot off Fireworks

 

I wish all of you a glorious celebration this weekend of the birth of our great nation.  There was a time when the United States was not a nation. Then it was an experiment to see if a democracy could succeed.  The experiment has been a success now for 100s of years.  Celebrate our independence, our wins and our losses.  Recognize that both our failures and our successes have built us up into the greatest nation on earth.  I am proud to be an American.  I pray we uphold the values our founding Fathers held as sacred. Thank those you know who have sacrificed to serve our country and keep us free.  

From History.com:

Fourth of July—also known as Independence Day or July 4th—has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues. The Fourth of July 2022 is on Monday, July 4, 2022.

Enjoy some time with friends and family celebrating the joys in your life and recognizing those who love you and serve our great nation.

God Bless America.

Moving Forward,

Happy Fourth of July

We live in a great country.  As far as I'm concerned it is the greatest country in the planet.  We have faults but we have more freedoms. This weekend as we celebrate our independence we can't forget the brave men and women who have served in our military.  Enjoy time with your friends and family but also reach out to a veteran or someone currently serving in a branch of the military.

Brooke Transportation Training is an approved Chapter 31 program approved to train disabled vets for a new career.  As a result I have the honor of saying thanks in person to scores of brave individuals who have given a part of themselves in service to the USA.

I ask them to tell me their stories if they are comfortable doing that.  For many, serving in the military was their only option as a job when they graduated from high school.  Once they are in the service they never know how or where they will serve.  Some leave behind children and wives, all leave behind family and friends.  They return to find many things changed.  Their children and siblings have grown and moved forward in life while they were away.  They have to get reacquainted with their spouses, this is a challenge to both.  And they have to find a new way to make a living.  We relish the opportunity to work with vets everyday as they move forward after serving our great country.

Independence Day is a day to celebrate our country... The freedoms we enjoy... The men and women who protect those freedoms.  

Enjoy the long weekend and thank a vet.

Moving forward,
