Happy Independence Day

We dressed and jumped in the Triumph and headed to town for the 4th of July Bicycle Parade. We arrived just before the parade began and were sitting on the Courthouse Square as the kids rode by us.
   
   
   
The building in the background of the pictures is the new Justice Center on the Courthouse Square in Burkesville. We also stopped and looked at the marker for all the service men that were 'killed in action' from Cumberland County. Stacey is pointing to my Uncle Ralph's name on the marker. He was my dad's oldest brother and died while serving in World War II. There are also service men listed that died in the Korean Conflict, Vietnam Conflict, and Operation Iraqi Freedom on the opposite side of the marker.
    
We drove through town and stopped for breakfast at Grumpy's. Then I drove the Triumph back to the farm and we covered it up in the hay shed. A little after 8 PM we took the Mustang to town and watched the fireworks from the park.

Enjoy the Fourth of July safely...
and 'celebrate' how great it is to live in the 'land of the free'.
