Happy Fourth of July

Dear Reader,
In the midst of all the BBQing and having fun at the local lake take a moment to remember that freedom is not free or thanks some one how has fought to keep us free. Thank God a few man felt that it was worth risking their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to start this free Republic that we live in. This anecdote of Benjamin Franklin says it well. This is quote from Bartletby.com.

 McHenry’s notes were first published in The American Historical Review, vol. 11, 1906, and the anecdote on p. 618 reads: 

“A lady asked Dr. Franklin Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy. A republic replied the Doctor if you can keep it.”

Evil is always coming us with some sort of 'ism', and that is why the fight to keep our children free is ever going on. Thank God for the past generations that did it for us. God bless the Republic.
