Today we celebrate the day our Founding Fatherf told Merry Olde England to get lost. We were sick of paying taxes (some things never change) and being told what to do by an unresponsive government (again, some things never change).
We had to fight to gain our independence. That fight goes on today. Not only for our democracy but for democracy around the world. Our troops continue to protect our freedom. Many make the ultimate sacrifice. Those who don't may come home wounded. Wounds both visible and invisible.
The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund helps those who return home. Today, you can help their work by making a donation. Everyone who donates today to IFHF will have a special patriotic block made in their honor. The quilt made from those blocks will go to Blankets of Hope which provides "comfor and hope for recovery to our Wounded Heroes." What a great way to say thank you twice.
Don't forget you can donate enough for a whole quilt too. Just a $200 donation makes a whole quilt for a wounded soldier.
As you are bbqing today and setting off fireworks (illegal in Montgomery County and other places) take a moment and donate today.
