Happy Independence Day

A slimmer Faith impersonates the "Nekid Cowboy." (She lost over a pound while sick!)
And yes, Those are genuine Wrangler's and leather cow-girl boots. Yeee-HAW!

Faith and Mama... Faith is unimpressed by sparklers...

IT IS THE SOLDIER
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag
