Then my husband and I listened to Bush continue to relate 9/11 to Iraq. Oh...I started with my sarcastic smartass comments. My hubby stopped me in my tracks. If you don't already know..My parents were hippies. I'm quite a bit more liberal than my Marine hubby. In college...who knew what the future would be like. Now, however...here we are. He did say in a complete non smartass tone that Today wasn't the day to mock Bush or the war. I have my days when I love Bush and when I hate Bush. Some days I'm a non liberal with just liberal tendancies...others I'm the daughter of those former hippies. Oh yeah...and my hippy father is now a "Rocket Scientist." Oh how life changes. So, after that exchange I agreed. I would shut up. We're lucky to be Americans. SOOOOO LUCKY!
I LOVE THAT WE CAN MAKE OUR LIVES WHATEVER WE WANT. WE CONTROL OUR OWN DESTINY.

A Big OhhRahh from one Marine Wife to another... Happy 4th!
I felt extremely patriotic this 4th also! I also wanted to stand at attention when the "Marine Hymn" came on the radio playing along with the fireworks! lol We are extremely lucky to be Americans and I am so proud of our military!
That was good. Thanks! :) And hug your Marine hubby for me... that takes guts.
I hope you had a great 4th! It sounds like you did. Great post too. :-) I have so much to catch up on with you all...I'll read up on all of your blogs tomorrow. I need to get to sleep. ;)
