It’s America’s birthday and I’m celebrating. My Army Sergeant son is in Japan–Okinawa. My Navy LT CDR daughter’s in the DC area. I thank both of them and all those soldiers who fought for America’s uncertain future so long ago. God be with all of us. I want to include all my efriends from Canada in the celebrations though I’m a few days late for Canada Day: July 1 is Canada Day.
