Re: Enjoy your 4th of July
I'm sitting in a hotel in Florida. Here on business. Would rather be in my SMB somewhere. It's a bummer having to make money, but the family needs to eat.
This is my wife's favorite holiday. In over 40 years of marriage this is only the second time we have not been together for the 4th. Last time was a few months after we were married. I was in the military and had been sent off to war. On the night of July 4th I was sitting in a gun emplacement on the perimeter of an airbase. Late at night somebody in another fire position popped off a red flare. I grabbed my weapon and prepared for an attack. Then the guy popped two or three other flares. Soon guys were popping flares all along the fire line. We made our own fireworks show. I can still picture it as if it were yesterday. It was a very emotional celebration.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Independence Day!!!!!
