My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings
they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!

Brigid,
You have touched my soul with this post. Perfect. May we never forget what is important.

Amen and here's to all who are and have served this once great nation!
Yep, we take much for granted here.
The cute grandboy is the generation we need to hold in our arms, to lift up, to teach what we have all toiled to learn.
Amen! and such a cute little fellow in your post.
Happy Fourth~ Hope you have a good one.
Indeed! Thanks for the post!
Amen, Lady - if we don't remind folks why it's important, there will soon come a day when no one at all remembers.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Happy Independence Day!

Amen to all. Find a Vet tomorrow, and thank him or her. Without their service, you might not have the day off to grill burgers and brats.
The American Revolutionary War of Independence was not an exercise in "the possible." A majority of Americans thought it was impossible to resist the King's Officers and win colonial freedom in 1776. The Declaration of Independence was an act of treason, punishable by death. Hit the books for a snap quiz. How many signers of the Declaration were put to death or imprisoned, their fortunes destroyed, their families punished? What was the total civilian economic price of freedom in 1776? How many years did we fight a Revolutionary War? How many were killed in battle because Thomas Paine correctly predicted victory and rightly demanded action?
Oh, what darling images you have here today. :)
Yes, our country is precious, but so many are fighting against it from without and within.
We have to win both fights.
True and true...
Amen.
Happy Independence Day, B.
Great Post.
Happy 4th
