Remembering to thank those that protect our freedom on Independence Day

While he's a Bengals and Cowboys fan, my friend that defended our country in the military deserves a shout-out from this Steelers fans.

Independence Day is a wonderful day for a multitude of reasons.

It's a day to enjoy good food with family and friends. It's a day to relax and enjoy local parades and carnivals. Above all, Independence Day is an opportunity to reflect and be thankful for living in the world's greatest country, and to always remember the men and women who have sacrificed to uphold our freedom.

I have one friend, Brad, who served in our great military during the recent War On Terror.
