I just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July. As we celebrate the birth of our great nation, keep in your hearts all of the men and women that are serving over seas, the ones who have served, and the memory of those that suffered so greatly to forge this nation into what it is today.

Drive safely if you travel, don't celebrate too hard, and those that play with fireworks, remember others around you. Do so in a safe manner. As for me, I will relax and make my noise with black powder and a good flintlock rifle. And be back here after the holiday.
