Land of the free ... because of the brave

Snapshots from a summer holiday weekend:

A decal on the rear window of a Marine veteran's pickup truck: "Home of the Free ... Because of the Brave."

Two little twin boys saluting a large Uncle Sam doll in the Shake Pit window.

A wheelchair bound fellow motoring along 14th street with little American flags decorating his rig.

A long line of bumper-to-bumper traffic creeping west on Cortez Road en route to the annual Beachhouse fireworks.

A phone call from my nephew, Kevin Haddon, an Army Special Forces sergeant, with July 4th best wishes from overseas.
