What does Independence Day mean to you as an American? What does military service have to do with ![]() In the middle of this education, you slowly gain a confidence and independence to examine your past decisions and life choices, teaches valuable lessons about leadership, teamwork, and the importance of service. My time in the United States Air Force Air taught me how to be adaptable while emphasizing the importance of personal courage and duty. We Americans are getting ready to celebrate a great holiday that was made possible by the sacrifice of others you will never meet. These courageous fellow Americans volunteered or were drafted to protect your rights. As we Americans come together to celebrate this special day there are fellow Americans today that are sacrificing not money or donations or an afternoon of fireworks and drinks down by the lake but giving up their daily lives to protect your many freedoms that make our country exceptional. I echo what has been said before, that those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it. As you make preparations over the next few weeks for your 4th of July celebration take some time to drive by the war memorial. You can stop in and teach your children, refresh your own memory of those Indiana Hoosiers who gave their lives for you. God bless our United States. God bless our military for protecting us at their individual cost. Your VP. Christopher |
