Proud to be an American

Yesterday we celebrated July 4th by driving up and through the Rocky Mountain National Park. With majestic snow-capped peaks, green meadows, blooming wild flowers and elk playing in a snow field, I was in awe of the amazing country we live in. We met people from around the country who were all enjoying the freedom and privilege that this country provides us.

Amongst all the BBQ's and get togethers, let us remember that we are Americans. We are not a perfect country, but we have more rights, opportunity and quality lifestyle than most of the world. And like anything, it is what me make of it that counts. As JFK once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you but what YOU can do for your country.

Here's to our country!

Love you Lorraine and wish you God's best always. Kathi
