A Happy 4th of July to you and your family. Yes, this holiday should be another reminder of our thankfulness to all of the men and women who have served, are now serving or will serve in the armed forces to protect our freedom.
Anne, Feasterville, PA

Yes, We live in the land of the free, because of the brave. Wear red, white and blue to remember those that serve, I will. My dad served in WWII also, was part of the Berlin Air Lift and many other places in Germany. My heritage is that of the military. Revolutionary war, Civil War, WWII, and husband is Vietnam Vet and son is Desert Storm Vet. God bless those in Iraq now.

Any President nominee should be required to serve 4 years, 365 days a year and 7 days a week, 24 hours a day in the military for their country.

HAPPY 4TH!! ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND...SORRY WEATHER IS SO BAD FOR YOUR SON HERE IN FLORIDA...:( KATHI

I was married a long time before I found out not everyone loved southern style potato salad. My family came from Indiana but my grandmother had been from Kentucky and it was her recipe. My husband's side came from Illinois and Florida and they ate the same kind,silly me I thought all potato salads were the same. I moved to Long Island and got a rude awakening, they don't make it with sweet pickles and eggs. We also have to have deviled eggs and chipped beef balls, made with chipped beef, chopped onions and cream cheese, of course there are not calorie counts on the 4th.
Have a good one, our daugther and her family are coming up from Orlando and our older son lives with us. take care p.s. I agree all presidents need to serve 4 years in the military, now that is real experience. Then they need a business phd. and some real people skills. My husband is Vietnam vet and his father was in WWII, my son is a Desert Storm vet. and my nephew is Desert Storm and Iraq vet. God be with our troops who are keeping our freedom for us.
Also, I have both your new paperbacks, I read "Someday soon" and it was great.

What great memories to have about the 4th! My husband is a Desert Storm vet (USMC) and the 4th is his favorite holiday of the year, with fireworks and a bbq! Here in Phoenix, we have to make do with watching professsional fireworks displays-not a good idea to start any fires ourselves, right now!
P.S. I adore potato salad, and my Mom makes the best!

We too are a very patriotic family. My son-in-law was posted to Afganistan soon after 9-11 and was on active duty for about a year. My grandson is in his senior year at the Naval Academy in Annapolis and hopes to be a Navy pilot someday. Now about potatoe salad for the 4th. I made a huge bowl which my husband promptly began to eat for breakfast, lunch. dinner and snacks. Glad you are home and now writing. Can't wait for a new book.
