As our flag is flying in our front yard this morning, and the kids are still asleep, I have the chance to reflect on the meaning of the holiday. Pete, you exemplify the meaning of the Fourth. Freedom comes at a cost. You and your family are never far from my mind, and I'm glad that this website exists to talk to you on. Happy Fourth of July, Pete! I bet the fireworks look great from where you are. Your memory and your contribution to this country will never be forgotten as long as we all carry you with us.
