Wishing all my friends a terrific 4th of July celebration. Remember those brave men, women, and animals that gave their all so that this little experiment in a democratic form of government might exist in a world of Kings, Queens, Shoguns, Tsars, Ministers, Dictators, Chancellors, and Emperors. It's been a bumpy road at times and the building of a nation that is true to the promise of its beginnings is still a work in progress.
