NCR - Hey! Today's the 4th.....

Have a happy and safe one. Don't mistake C-4 or dynamite for fireworks. I always keep getting 'em mixed up, and then getting a surprise, but that won't happen this year - it's raining all day so I won't be lighting anything, including a grill.

Here are a few pictures I took (except the one of me, or course) as a reminder of who paid, and continues paying, the price of our independence. God Bless our all those in our armed services who volunteer to bear the full burden of our politician's decisions, regardless of their party affiliation or ideology.

In respecting the more sensitive among us, I didn't include the photo I took of one American GI and one ARVN Vietnamese soldier who paid the ultimate price for saving my life during Tet, 1968.
