Looking forward to the 4th of July?

This day, I am thankful for the men and women in uniform who protect us every day; I am thankful for all Veterans and the price they and their families have paid for our freedom in days past;

... and I am thankful to our Presidents of over 200 years ago who rode their horses into battle to gain our independence; and to those who lead us today

... and to the farmers who stayed home, like my grandfather, 

to grow food for our growing Nation

... to President Obama's grandparents & others like them (including my dad) who served in World War II and gave up their length of days due to what must be resultant autoimmune issues & cancers of multiple chemical exposures of war times & industry

Other Presidents affected, in my opinion
