I just want to extend my very best wishes of a happy 4th of July to my fellow country men and women here on the forum. To all of you who have given so much to this forum and given me so much great information and guidance. I believe that some day I will take what I have learned and turn it into a life long dream. I know some of you will be there every step of the way. I am forever grateful.
Those who know me personally know that I am a very emotional patriotic person. Trying to keep my politics out of this forum has been tough. I look to other venues for that.
So, I would like to express my gratitude to the men and women in our armed forces. I know some of you are here on these boards, past and present service members. Every day when I see a flag flying high, I think of you. What you do each and every day of your lives keeps that flag flying high and proud. Please remember, there are still proud Americans who would stand next to you in our darkest hour and our finest moments.
Today, I raise my flag. Fly it high and proud. I raise my glass to each one of you! Have a happy and safe holiday.
I smell smoke!
