The month of July is hot dog eating, fireworks, heat, humidity and no school. It’s BBQ and pool time, open highways and somebody’s birthday. It’s ours. Yours and mine and every other clear thinking individual who salutes the stars and stripes. We hold it to one big day among the car and furniture sales, the beach towels and sunscreen but even though it’s early, July 4this that day. It’s the birthday of what some of us still considered to be the greatest land in all the land. Take one minute out and thank God or whomever you pray to and consider yourself to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Happy all of July, America. You’re a grand old flag.
