My daughter Marnee and I have a hero and he’s younger than me. In fact, I gave birth to him 33 years ago. Our son Steven served in Iraq an Kuwait during the ‘Shock and Awe’ campaign when the troops were all moving in and the fighting was at its worst.

                                Marnee took this picture to send to her brother while he was in Iraq.

Heroes come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. And July 4th isn’t just to remember the day we won our independence from Britain. It’s a day to reflect on our freedom and what it’s taken to win it. Let’s don’t ever forget our heroes.
