[SBE] Happy Birthday America

[Larry Bloomfield]

Hi all

If you haven't done so, please take a moment or so to be grateful and 
thankful that we live in the finest -- freest country on this planet, 
despite all the faults we can find with it. Having traveled the world, I 
can safely say that no one can find a better, freer place to live!

I proudly gave 16 years of my life in the United States Navy and I'm 
proud to say that my son Tom gave several years of his life in the 
United States Marine Corps and his son, my grandson, is currently 
serving in the United States Navy. I came from a proud family where my 
dad served in world war one as a Sergeant in the US Army, my brother, as 
a boatswains' mate in the US Coast Guard in world war two, one 
brother-in-law as a sergeant in the US Marines in world war two and 
another brother-in-law as a petty officer in the US Navy also in world 
war two.  I'd like to think all of us have done nothing more than ensure 
that we all can continue to enjoy those freedoms that so many would like 
to take away from us. Am I bragging?  You're darn right I am!

With out a microsecond of hesitation:  God bless America and Happy Birthday!

Here's a little something you all might enjoy.

Finely: Did you know that two of our founding fathers, John Adams and 
Thomas Jefferson both passed away on the same day? Independence Day, 
July 4th 1826. What could have been a more befitting day for their lives 
to end after such dedicated service to the founding and preservation of 
our great nation?
