Happy 4th of July!

Let me start off by thanking all men and women of our military branches who are currently serving and those that have served before them. I would also like to recognize the families of these brave men and women as well. THANK YOU!
I have to give kudos to Kings Island this year for their 4th of July extraveganza. This holiday weekend, all military men and women were admitted for free. They also had a 2 day event of fireworks which was a really great display on Saturday and Sunday. I live within 3 miles of Kings Island, so I was able to watch the weekend event both nights. I can see almost all of the fireworks from my back deck, so the first night this is where we watched them. On night two, we drove to a parking lot right by the park, so we could be up close and personal to them. Both displays of fireworks were about 20 minutes long. I thought they really did a fine job in honoring those who serve our Country and what Independece Day is all about. Without our military and the sacrifices of those brave men, women and their families, we would not have the freedoms that we do.
