Happy Birthday, America! Please take a minute during your day to celebrate the freedoms we as Americans enjoy. I just returned from an early morning patriotic flag raising ceremony and breakfast. How grateful I am for those Americans who have sacrificed so much for us. Each day is a gift, and how we choose to use our God-given freedoms is up to us and our personal agency. I hope you'll enjoy the time you spend today with family and friends and reflect upon these gifts of freedom. Many have willingly paid a heavy price for them. They deserve our appreciation and deep gratitude.
