I had a hard time naming this post. I took some breathtaking photos of fireworks while at my in laws on Monday, and found some of my favorite quotes to pair with them.
As I read through and viewed this post, I was moved. My heart fluttered.
Freedom is not free, and I cannot thank the families and soldiers enough for their sacrifices.
Thank you.

Love the sparkler pictures!! They scream summertime. And the quotes are such great reminders of why we are allowed to run free. Thanks for sharing…
Lovely photos and great quotes! The sparkler shots are my favorites! So sweet!
Beautiful! Just Beautiful!
Beautiful reminder of what matters.
I love the “posterity” quote pic and the “God bless America” pic! So cool! We didn’t pop any fireworks this year because my 3 older children were out of town spending time with their family. And, we were at the Cardinals baseball game. Thanks for providing me with a great fireworks show here on your blog!
