This day is a celebration of the men and women who have fought for us. From My Daddy in Vietnam, who flew helicopters, to the man beside me at work everyday who leaves for his 3rd tour in the Heat in August. Thank You, just isn't enough.
They fight everyday for our Freedom. A hat's off to all our Armed Forces, and a special Bumpkin salute to all those Marines out there, especially My Captain! Semper Fi brothers and sisters, Semper Fi!
The Captain just called and wanted me to tell you, that he has two special crew members today. Two Mississippi Wildlife & Fisheries Officers who have given up their day off, and asked the Captain to let them on his little boat to go and get some birds and turtles they couldn't get to in a bigger boat they saw yesterday.
The Captain said to tell you, they got em'!
He said what a way to celebrate today! Let's keep rolling America, let's keep rolling!
You haven't forgotten right?

Even if I'm not American i think this is a great post! Must be hard to have a family member or friend out there. It is so great of these men that they spend their day off saving animals! I'm taking my hat off to them :)

Hope you had a good one!

Happy fourth love! I missed you too and am so happy to be back! A fashion post just for you is in the works! ;)
Love this post!!! Seriously. I never cease to get goosebumps when I think of the "Let's Roll" quote. It is astounding in so many ways and makes my heart ache and rejoice. Great, spirited post. There is so much to love about our land.
Amen to this! I hope you had a great 4th! I got to see fireworks...but I still came back around to look at your fireworks post below :) So great!
Thank you so much for your super encouraging comment on my vent-post!!! Perhaps I'm just super emotional, but it actually brought me to tears. Thank you so, so tremendously much for your kindness!
I will pray for your captain's safety today! I hope you have a lovely day!
