Happy Birthday America!

Dude, I love this day!! This is one of my most favorite holidays.  I love everything it stands for and the opportunity it gives Americans to be a little more patriotic today.  How can this song not get you to hold your head up a little higher and be proud to be an American?! I love it!

Now if only I could find this lil gem, it would make the day so much better!

Don't assume that I'd only wear them today... I've been searching for these for the last 2 years! I would proudly wear them ALL. THE. TIME.!! I love them!

Anywhoooo... I need to start packing up my stuff and get going to the beach, I've got a tan awaiting me, family to see and BBQ'd corn on the cob waiting to be eatten! LOVE IT!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!! MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE!

Tear jerker.

With my period coming up, why oh WHY would I watch a video like this?!?!
I can't even see straight now and my face is wet!
Ugh....I felt like I was crying as if I had a soldier coming home or something!!

This makes me ever so grateful for the service that these men and women give for our country and for the freedoms we enjoy.  I'm also grateful to those families who go without their loved ones for the sake of our freedoms.  To those families, my heart goes out to them.
