Daren,
Hey neighbor, Thanks. Part of the fun of being an American, is the having Great neighbors. Its a very nice neighborhood!

I am reminded of another July 4th I celebrated on the HMS Vigelant. (Candian) They invited our crew over for a summer Barbecue..... in Thule Greenland. Very fun day! But the swimming party was darn cold!

I'm spending part of my morning with the WWII 10th Mt division,(winter special forces group) Many of whom were actually Canadian volunteers. Its good to both enjoy and remember the price of freedom. And they are an awesome reminder! That price has often been paid and continues on a daily basis to be paid shoulder-to-shoulder with our northern neighbors. To all the Veterans out there, who have or presently tend the watch fires of democracy as well as others, that build or promote freedom in this land and in others Thank you....

In rememberance
