A very special thank-you on Independence Day

D.C. National Guard members monitor the annual Independence Day celebration on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Today we celebrate the arrival of the United States of America onto the world stage. From the American Legion Auxiliary to all servicemembers of the U.S. Armed Forces: THANK YOU! Your innumerable contributions protect our freedoms and keep our nation safe. And thank you to the families of deployed servicemembers for their strength and sacrifices.

Our country is great because of you! In your honor, we invite everyone in our ALA blog community to take a moment right now to pause and celebrate those who have fought and those who continue to fight for our freedom.

May God bless you all.
