This year's 4th of July celebration was EXTRA special/patriotic, as we knew our local service men, the 118th Sappers, were being deployed to Afghanistan. Ann Hawkins helped to coordinate local boy scout troops at each intersection of the parade to ALL march into the middle of each intersection and lead the ENTIRE parade in the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE...it was such an amazing experience to see these young men and each member of the community come together to show these SOLDIERS just how much love and support they would have! We love our SOLDIERS and pray daily for each of them and their families.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which IT stands, ONE nation, under GOD, indivisible, with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL!"
