I rarely get to write a blog on a holiday since very few holidays fall on a Saturday. However, today is one of those special days.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
Our nation celebrates with red, white and blue paraphenalia, fireworks, sales at stores and, of course, barbeques.

There is a deeper meaning beyond all this consumerism....patriotism. What causes you to feel patriotic?

For me it's the site of a man or woman in military uniform. I am always blown away by that person's willingness to sacrifice their life to serve our country.

Stay safe this weekend.
