Happy Birthday, America

The DrsC take this opportunity on July 4th to wish the United States of America "Happy Birthday." We wish the nation many, many happy returns of the day.

We love to travel, as frequent readers know. As we travel abroad, we ask ourselves "Is this a place we could comfortably live? How would it compare to living in the U.S.?" We've seen several places we could comfortably live, but none we would choose over the U.S.

The other DrC and I have repeatedly observed that the best thing that ever happened to either of us was to be born here in the U.S. This is a great place to live and to come home to.

Freedom isn't free; ours has been purchased with the lives of our young people in uniform. As we celebrate independence, let us remember their sacrifice.
