I've been in contact this morning with many of my family and friends who are memorializing this day. In just a few weeks we will be celebrating our independence. A friend of mine was just given the news by her son he has enlisted in the marines. He graduates next weekend and boot camp is the next week. She has a lot of emotions going on but the whole family is military and her husband and father and father-n-law are all marine vets and patriot guards. Lot of support going on.
