America is the best place to live in the world! We have so
many freedoms that people in other countries do not get to experience. We are
blessed to live in such a great country, thanks to the brave men and woman in
America's Armed Forces.
Fourth of July hits home each year in our house because I get
to watch my husband put his uniform on every day and defend our freedom! He sacrifices
a lot for us on a daily basis.

Fourth of July is a day to celebrate America with family,
fun, and of course RED, WHITE, & BLUE! Fourth of July is a particular day
but our family celebrates this holiday for a few weeks prior. One of our
favorite things to do as a family before the holiday is to pick out our top
firework display we want to see. Our family gathers and goes to downtown
Detroit to watch the wonderful firework display. It creates great family
bonding waiting for the display. This is a fun filled event that we look forward
to going to each year.

The day of Fourth of July, we always have a fun “Fourth
Gathering”. Now, since we live on a military installation, it is a great way to
bring military families together. Our gatherings consist of fun, laughing, and
great food. Everyone brings a favorite dish to pass, enjoys the country music,
and appreciates everyone’s company. While waiting for the firework display, a nice toasty fire is always a necessity. The kids enjoy making golden brown s’mores
over the bon fire. To complete our Fourth of July festivities, we watch the
firework display! Boom, Crack, Pow!
