Happy Independance Day!

As Elder Sullivan would say..."Woot"!!! Ashton hit his hump day on July 2nd and we're all amazed at how fast this last year has gone by! And we're told the second year goes by even faster...
We at the Sullivan house are gearing up for YW Girls Camp. Harold will be a lone man as I am the director and all the girls will be with me...he says he'll miss us but I think he's secretly excited to have a break from a household of females! Ü

Today we are celebrating Independence Day...how blessed and privileged we are to live in this country! 232 years ago today, our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence, declaring independence from England, since then millions of Americans have sacrificed their lives defending that freedom. We often think of these brave men and women at “the important holidays”, but they deserve to be remembered EVERY day of the year!

Today, I ask all of us to remember that freedom is not free, and we must continue to fight for the principles that those men signed for 232 years ago.

I’d like to Thank all of the troops currently serving, the troops on reserve, ready to go if needed, the veterans who have already served, and the families of all of these great Americans – especially those who have given the ultimate sacrifice of their lives. We will NOT forget your sacrifices.

Let us never forget the people who have defended the principles of this Day and this Country.

God bless you all, and God bless America.
