Happy Birthday United States of America!!!

Happy Independence Day to all of the citizens of the United States of America. Today, we celebrate the bravery, courage, and leadership of our Founding Fathers, who, over 238 years ago, took a bold step of faith to create what continues to be the greatest nation on earth.

To all of the people who have served, are serving, and will serve this Nation, I salute you and your family for all that you do. To the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of this Nation…we are forever grateful for you.

To the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who are serving in locations all over the globe – thank you for standing watch over us, ever vigilant, and ready to fight tonight – our thoughts and prayers are with you…always.

Take care and be blessed,

Vernon
