Here at the fortified compound that is Castle Argghhh!, we'll be hosting 24+ people to celebrate the 2nd on the 4th - the 2nd Amendment, on the 4th of July. They are, after all, intertwined, protestations by gun haters notwithstanding. It should be a fun day, as we mix babies, young folk and elder folk, retired military with lifelong civilian, etc. An 8lb brisket is smoking, and there'll be burgers, brats (both pronunciations) and hot dogs, plus whatever sides the horde brings. This evening we'll be able to see the flag by the rocket's red light, and there will be bombs bursting in air.
Hopefully your 4th will be similar.
But I'm betting, unless your 4th of July involves war-supporting tasks in-theater, your day won't be the labor of love of Marine veteran Mark Dolfini. He's doing a midnight-to-midnight vigil today - 24 hours spent mostly at the position of attention, as a fund-raiser for Soldier's Angels. For the details - see
Greta at Hooah Wife and Friends.
Semper Fi, Sergeant!
