If you are one of the lucky ones to be in Pensacola, you can celebrate on the beach. This is a scene from Pensacola Beach last year.
But also take a moment and remember the men and women who gave their lives for our country. So that we could sit over here and fight in other ways for liberty.
In particular, remember the 4,082 Americans who have been killed in Iraq, including 67 from Alabama (along with 514 wounded). They were doing what was required of them, and put in harm's way by our president. As we remember these individuals, we will also remember what must be done to end this war.
Electing a Democratic congress was not enough, obviously. We must elect a Democratic super-majority and a president who will commit to ending the war. A Democrat.
If that sounds partisan on a day that should not be, blame your president.
Enjoy the day, and be safe.

Let's also remember the thousands who died on 9/11 because of a terrorist attack on our soil. These innocent individuals were put in harms way thanks to the Clinton/Gore administration, who, like most democrats, have no clue about national security.
Thank God we have a president who has not allowed this to happen over the past 8 years.
