As a mom of a soldier whose son was deployed to Afghanistan recently, this will be the first 4th of July my son hasn't been home to light the annual fireworks. For all of the holidays, birthdays and regular days each of you and your family members miss, I say thank you. It is a sacrifice. ~~Goldie -------, Holden, Mo.
God bless you for all you do for our country. God bless your hearts, lives and families for the sacrifices you make to keep us all safe. ~~Tam ------, Las Vegas, Nev.
