It’s Independence Day weekend, and while everyone is celebrating, remember our service members fighting for our way of life, and all our veterans, living and passed. I’d ask you to read our country’s history, and what was sacrificed for our freedom.
Have a Happy, and safe, Independence Day weekend!
I didn’t write this, but I thought I’d share it with you, especially on this holiday:
WHAT IS A VET?
Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul’s ally forged in the refinery of adversity.
Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can’t tell a vet just by looking. What is a vet?

And you might notcie his kind words about a certain leather maker’s gear:-)
Happy Independence Day folks!
