Fireworks, the Fourth, and Thanks

Fourth of July, a symbol of national pride and resilience. Today through the weekend, many towns in New Jersey are hosting events of some kind. This year many of the celebrations had special meaning as people and communities continue to recover from the devastation left by Superstorm Sandy. But in the hustle of shopping and the parades celebrating our nation's independence, remember freedom isn't free.

Thanks and gratitude not only to those actively serving in the armed forces but the families left behind to guard the homefront. And don't forget to thank a vet for their service.

Happy Fourth of July. Off to watch fireworks over the river.

Till the next time,
Helen
