The 4th of July is a time for celebration with family and friends; we go to barbeques and view local firework displays; we attend parades and enjoy time off from work. Something we should always bear in mind on this day is that thanks to brave members of our armed services, we continue to enjoy the luxury of living in a free country. It's easy to get wrapped up in the mundane concerns of daily life, concerning ourselves primarily with parties and food on the grill. Yet away from friends and family, there are Americans serving in combat zones overseas- afraid and anxious to get back home.
So easily we forget what some have gone through, so that we may enjoy freedom and equality in our country. Remember those who have gone before us to preserve that freedom, and those who continue to do so.
