Independence Day Greetings


Hello, everyone!

We'd like to wish you a happy Fourth of July, wherever you may be, and however you may be celebrating.

A special thanks to our veterans and the servicemen who are in active duty at this time, fighting our nation's freedom, as well.

“Every man gives his life for what he believes; every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometime people believe in little or nothing, and yet they give their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it and then it’s gone. But to surrender what you are and live without belief is more terrible than dying, even more terrible than dying young.’’


~Joan of Arc

  2. Marq,
    I think these are the first photos I have ever seen of your Dad. He reminds me of Jody (very handsome!) I hold my freedom a little more dearly each time I learn of a soldier related to someone I know. I pray for them and their families.
