Most of the time we celebrate the 4th of July as our Independence day, as our breaking away from the country that spawned us. We (yes, I mean MYSELF)most of the time DO NOT consider all those that died and continue to do so to ENSURE that we continue to have the freedoms, the rights, the previlages that we hold so dear. We forget the pain and suffering that "Those who go in harms way" embrace to give us the freedom we demand.

So Kraz, thank YOU for getting us to remember those forgotten fallen heroes all and those heroes that continue to fight for ALL OF US! Even though I retired from the Air Force, SEMPER FI!
