God Bless America …
Happy Birthday to the World’s Greatest Force for Freedom in history. For many of us in the west Freedom is often something we take for granted. Thank you to all our vets, active and military families for your sacrifice in securing our liberty. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #FreedomNeverCries pic.twitter.com/GPnzyEkeKP

Ed: The song is beautiful — and the video is even more touching. I am honored to share this with you on behalf of my friend John. In fact. I was going to take today off entirely until John sent this over, and I knew I had to share with you. (I am blessed in my friends, truly.) Today’s final word is: God Bless America, and each and every one of you.

As I sit listening to the South Florida rain that washed out our Independence Day Parade, my heart is full of gratitude. What a blessing it is to live in this incredible country. I truly love America. The American Dream is alive and real — and it’s within reach for anyone willing… pic.twitter.com/vKSYILK4Wd
