As you fire up your grill, play fun games in the sun, and watch a spectacular fireworks show, please take a moment today to reflect why we enjoy the freedom and independence on this day and each and every day of the year. 

Be GRATEFUL,

for the men and women who served.

Be APPRECIATIVE,

of your sovereignty.

Be Proud to be an American,

today and everyday.

Mistakes are part of the learning process, giving us the experiences, knowledge, and skills to achieve our goals – as a country and individually.
