Fourth of July – celebrate the day that we declared our Independence from a King

Listen to our national anthem by Madison Rising:

We at the ‘Grok are thankful for the blessings that God have given us – indeed, without our Creator who has watched over this nation ’til now, we’d just be yet another country.  But He inspired, I believe, our Founders who laid the foundations of this great nation – and they freely acknowledged that Gift from Him: Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.  Inalienable Rights.  The radical idea that we were individuals, sovereign citizens, and not subjects.

We also thank those that have served our country in uniform, willing to put their lives on the line for hard work,  no fame and little money.  As a non-veteran (but double Blue Star Dad) I appreciate our veterans here at the ‘Grok more and more for not only their uniformed service:

  • Tim Condon (US Marines)
  • Rick Olsen (US Marines)
  • Mike Rogers (Royal Marines)
  • Don Ewing (Army)

But also for their continued allegiance to their oaths and their continued fight for the sake of Individual Liberty and Freedom.  See a Vet?  Give them a heartful “Thank You” – they have earned it.

We also remember on this Day in those that believed in that Founders Vision and in the principles on which it was grounded enough to give up their all on order to give us this day.
