Independence Day

July 4, 2020

As fireworks were rumbling all around tonight I felt more inclined to stop by here.  It was after dark, and the moon was casting shadows on this spot in Discovery Park.  It is the Blue Star Memorial By-Way which serves as a tribute to all the Armed Services of America.  Independence has nothing to do with a firecracker you know…

Independence was never gained without the sacrifice of someone.

Independence was never secured without great courage, vision, and fortitude.

Independence…has always been dependent…in the service of others…by the few that are brave.

It is good to remember…
