Mike Adam's reading

Another Fourth of July
By Faye Sizemore

As we celebrate the birth of our nation
Let us not forget the many brave men and women
Who fought and died to preserve that dream of our forefathers
... A dream of liberty for all
And those who are fighting yet. Never forget their efforts...
No matter how big or small
To them we owe a debt that we can never repay
Thank them
For all the freedoms that we are blessed with today
Tonight... as you see the fireworks
That honor America
... Remember them
For without those that serve...
This dream of liberty
Would be but a whim.
