4th of July Flare

This morning I awoke with great pride and honor for today we celebrate our independents made possible by the men and women who died over there, we take our long weekends to camp,BBQ, hang out with friends and family as we drink get drunk and enjoy the fire works flare, today I will awake with a prayer to out troops a thank you to all the mothers, fathers, husbands, wife's, and children who lost love ones over there, I won't take for granted my freedom, my rights, or shame the land others died to protect with heroic flare, I will tell my kids what all the solders in all the wars did for them for this country from sea to shinny sea how they did their best over there, we take for granted our history we look forward to time off rather then time to remember this isn't U.S.A.'s flare, other countries honor this day while we desecrate it with intoxication do we not care for our brothers and sisters over there, Please I erg you to take a moment of silence and a moment of prayer remember each color of our flag and show your red white and blue flare, in your hearts remember all solders who gave you freedom gave their blood, sweat, and tears and above all their life over there, raise your head with pride, give thanks where it is seldom heard look up to the heavens and with American pride salute our brother and sisters with 4th of July flare.
