As we approach yet another holiday during the current COVID -19 pandemic, we are all painfully reminded things are not the same. This 4th of July holiday will be vastly different.

Usually this weekend is celebrated with backyard BBQ s, pool parties, trips to lakes, rivers, and beaches, followed by HUGE gatherings after sundown to see a fireworks display.

This year It is safer to stay home and light your sparklers in your backyard or on your patio. We are a resilient nation and will get through this difficult time coming out on the other side stronger and better prepared for whatever lies ahead.

Never forget, all the men and women who have fought for our freedom here and abroad and continue to do so every day.

Be safe,
