to my sweet heroes:

my six heroes: those in the action,
and those who fight at home.
today is a reverenced day.

i am so proud to be a part of your
family. i believe in the goodness that 
you so willingly fight for, and pray
for your safety every night. you do not
complain, in fact, you love what you do. 
you provide our country with such noble 
stability, and for that, i am forever 
grateful. i love you.

the fourth of july is bigger. 
it is a celebration of our country's victory, the victory that protects our freedom.
...which {despite popular belief} is worth fighting for.

don't have any superheroes to direct your thanks to?
you can borrow one of mine.

  2. I concur...Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. ~Thomas Paine
