Question Of The Week

This week, Americans will be celebrating

One of their most cherished holidays of all –

Independence Day –
Also known as the 4th of July!

Many other countries also celebrate
Their own version of this holiday.
Please share how you and your family
Celebrate Independence Day,
Wherever you live, and
What freedom means to you!


I love the month of July - mainly because of the family reunions, cookouts, and quality time my family gets to spend together. The girls usually take a week-long trip filled with lots of food, laughter, food, fun, food, bonding and food :) Unfortunately, this year I won't be able to go - but I'm sure there will be lots of calls and texts to let me know just how much fun they are having!

Independence Day has a special place in my heart. I’m married to a veteran and have many family and friends that are still serving our country. It’s easy to sometimes take for granted the freedoms we have, but when you stop and think of the many people who do not have the freedom to even use the Internet or wear what they want to on a regular basis – it can be humbling. Also, when I reflect on those that have sacrificed their time and energies and even their lives to fight for our freedoms – it puts things in a totally different perspective and makes you so thankful for even the littlest of our freedoms.
