The 4th

Seems like lately I've been on a bit of a picture posting roll. Just seems like that is the best, and easiest way to share a little piece of life with you. You can descibe stuff, but being able to see into someone else's life always amazes me. I love to see how others see things, and how they live. Guess I am a bit of a voyeur. Anyway...

I took a bunch of pic's at the fireworks and these are a few that I find myself continuing to go back to...I LOVE the color and the motion that they have.

I was reading the blog of a wise woman this morning who was talking about how patiotic the 4th made her feel...I have to say...ME TOO! I have struggled with this war since the beginning...not going to go all political or anything....just a personal mental struggle. One thing however that I DO NOT struggle with is the need to support our country and our military...reguardless of my own beliefs or feelings. I come from a long line of veterans, my grandfather and my father...married a soldier...and am the mother of a boy with a strong drive to become a soldier. I have been fortunate in that my DH narrowly missed being called up during The Gulf War...and I can only hope that my son will have the same fate.


These men and women that ARE fighting for our freedom and safety need all the support that you have to give! They are taking time from their lives to fight for us...here at home...all comfy and safe. They are missing their own children growing each day...so that our children will have the same future that we've been given. The sacrifice's that they are making are unbelievable.

I know I'm kinda rambly...I guess my point is....as we sat during the 4th and safely watched the fireworks...celebrating our freedom. At the very same time our soldiers are over...fighting for continued freedom...but the fireworks that they were watching...could kill them. I just want to make sure that I am doing my part..to support them...are you??
WOW....that may seem alittle soap-boxy....didn't mean for it to. I just get frustrated at people who forget about the solidiers...and what they are sacrificing.


Alrighty...done for the day...please just get a yellow ribbon, a sign to put out, a flag, send a care package...something to let them know that they are thought of...and that you care!
