Independence Day

Independence Day Parade

Washington, DC

It seems only fitting that I launch this exciting new project on Independence Day. For my entire life I have been either a daughter, wife or mother of someone serving in our Armed Forces. I know to the depths of my soul, I am red, white and blue through and through. There is nothing that gives me more pride than seeing our Nation's flag and our Nation's troops. I still tear when I hear the National Anthem and the roar of jets overhead makes my heart race and my insides giddy with excitement.

This blog is a culmination of everything that I am. It is my sincerest desire that it will reflect the love, admiration and devotion I feel to the good ol' US of A.

Won't you please come with me as I attempt to put into words, pictures and creations what America means to me. And PLEASE - share with me what the USA means to you!

Semper USA!

but the long and steady dedication of a lifetime."
