I just reposted a story from my brother’s blog – he is currently serving in Iraq on his second tour. Thank you for your support of those fighting for us!

Very well put.

I have a dear friend whom I argue with every time we get together. We just don’t see eye to eye on anything political. But just as we are at the brink of gouging the other’s eye out, we always stop and say, “Hey, we may not agree, but this is the greatest country because we have the FREEDOM to disagree.”

I am so discouraged at the direction this county seems to be headed. I am deeply disappointed in both political parties. But what really saddens me is when people bad mouth our great country, taking so much for granted.

We live in the greatest country on earth. I desperately hope our politicians don;t screw it up.

God Bless America. Happy 4th, and Happy Anniversary!

This was not directed at you. Having dealt with the Medicare system through foster care, you know the difficulties there. Is that quality of care your dream? A system that large will make the foster care system seem like a dream. Because I have foster children, if something happens to them after hours, I’m forced to wait 9 hours for care, 9 hours in the middle of the night because I am forced to use their Medicaid. With my other kids, I have options – and I want to keep them.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Vote Annie 2012!!!

Being the daughter of a veteran I don’t take freedom or sacrifice lightly either. Yet my sis, an Avon rep, is doing a fundraiser through Avon where they are selling personal care packs that will be shipped to the troops for $10, and on top of that $4 of the $10 goes to the USO to further help soldiers and their families. She asks people to buy one and they look at her like she has two heads. Are we living in tough economic times? Absolutely. But compared to the sacrifice these guys and gals are making for me? I’ll do it. In fact, sign me up for two.

We are a BLESSED nation and we forget that way too often! You go girl!

Wow. I am speechless. Wait a second. No I am not. I am a whiner in a two income household that can BARELY afford the crappy healthcare that we get after fighting for it tooth and nail. Dependence. Ppff.
