Thanks for the reminder Stephen! We are all very blessed to live in this country and to have the right to enjoy our freedoms and liberty. Moreover, we are especially blessed to exercise our rights to freedom of speech and religion. It is unfortunate that so many places in this world are oppressed and that so many people live in abject fear. As a women who has been able to enjoy the wonderful opportunities this country has to offer, I would like to express my thanks to our men in the armed forces; we salute you for your bravery and service! You guys ROCK!!
