This year, we celebrate our Nation’s 234th birthday. It’s a time to honor our Founding Fathers and remember those who keep us safe at home and abroad throughout the year. 

As we pay tribute to the past, we also look ahead to the future and the challenges that face our country. Now more than ever, we find ourselves in a position to regroup and unite- ensuring that we remain strong against those who try to take away our security and freedom.

As you gather with your friends and family to celebrate America’s birthday with a barbeque, hometown parade or a fireworks display; I hope that you do so with the greatest amount of pride in your heart. How lucky we are to be citizens of such a great nation!

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July,

Joan
