July 4th: Thank a Soldier

I went to an antique store this week and saw this little box in one of the booths.  I love this idea so much, I'm definitely going to think of a way to borrow it and pass it on in some way soon.  I can't help but pause in celebrating my freedom to reflect on all that goes in to that....everyone who fights so we can disagree, state our opinion, vote different party lines, and sit under a sky of fireworks each 4th of July with a mix of people who may not feel the way we do about many things, but pause to celebrate that we get to live in a country where different opinions aren't always appreciated, but are allowed.  Happy 4th of July!
