How amazing and fitting that the Discovery Space Shuttle took off today on this, our country’s 230th birthday? What a beautiful site. God bless those heroes on board who are doing their part to further the technology of our country.

Freedom. That is what this day is about. Freedom that we enjoy because of heroes who have given their lives so that we can live our lives in the manner that we choose and we have no fear of persecution. On September 11 of this year, as we Mark the fifth anniversary of the attack on the United States, I will be honoring such a hero on my blog. My hero is Commander William H. Donovan. He was a United States Naval Commander who was murdered at the Pentagon.

As you celebrate on this day, please remember those such as Cmdr. William H. Donovan who risked and/or gave their lives so that we could enjoy and celebrate our freedom today.

Please have a blessed and safe holiday.
