Home of the Free, because of the Brave

I'm kind of excessively patriotic. I don't know if its because I'm an Army wife or just because I LOVE America and everything she stands for. My husband has been in the army for 9 years and has served in Iraq and Afganistan. Since coming back he hasn't been able to be around fireworks anymore because of the sound, smells, and color reminds him of the roadside bombs he was in... (unfortuant reality of war)  Needless to say for the past 6 years fireworks haven't been a priority for the 4th of July. But I have missed them so much.  Watching a great firework display with a beautiful choreographed soundtrack strikes a chord in me that brings tears to my eyes. It has been 6 years since I have got to watch a display close enough to hear and smell it. I was fortuant so to say my husband was gone for training this year(not so fortuant for that part), and the kids and I got to enjoy two marvelous firework displays!! Yay!! I think this should hold me over for another 6 years :)

Happy Birthday America!!! I hope everyones 4th was filled with friends and family as well!!!
