I saw this clip on Today this morning and it brought a tear to my eye, so I thought that I would provide the clip with another outlet, because for any fellow animal lovers as am I, this is what it is all about…

Seems like a funny title since this blog is just getting started and, well, I am probably everyone at this point. But I thought that I would take a minute and remind everyone out there who seem to think that it is perfectly fine to forget about the history of the greatest country in the world, just exactly what Independence Day or more commonly called 4th of July in the USA is all about.

In the good ole’ USA, Independence day is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. And of course it is about cookouts, beer, brots, fireworks and good times, but it is certainly more than that.

I would like to personally thank the brave men and women of our armed forces, who put it on the line every single day so that we can remain a free nation and enjoy what our country has become.
