Whatever one thinks about the United States of America, those of us who live here should be grateful. No matter how much one disagrees with the systems of the United States of America, we are lucky to have that freedom to disagree. It is our duty to treasure and preserve that freedom.

Today is not about indulgence: it is not about beer or barabeque or the beach. It is about the men and woman who have personally made an effort to preserve our freedom.

Please take some time to reflect on those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Please talk with your friends, family and other loved ones about what freedom means to you, and why you are grateful for it.
