Images of Freedom and Remembrance

Many thoughts come to mind on America's birthday. On this July 4, I thought the old saying that a picture is worth 1,000 is appropriate. So here is my look at various images of freedom from around the nation, my hometown, and my backyard.

Celebrate Freedom!

Happy Birthday America! Happy Independence Day!
