America the Beautiful

And it really, truly is. I have seen a lot of this great country and the common word for each trip was beautiful. The blues of the oceans, the majesty of the mountains, the wide openness of the prairies, the colors of the deserts and the stunning glaciers of Alaska. Everywhere you go, there is much to be found. And we are free to explore it. Free to speak what we think and worship. We are so incredibly blessed to live here in this America where the promise of a new day and the ability to pursue happiness is alive and well. God Bless America!!!

Enjoy this holiday, my friends. And remember the many, many people who gave all they had to make this dream a reality!! I only hope that we can capture the passion and dedication that they had to forge our own way and honor the sacrifices that they made.
