I appreciate the freedom and riches that I have living here. I think that is lost on so many people who are up in arms and complain about everything. Our system is not perfect and doesn't make everyone happy, however it is one of the best in the world. I often think about other countries where women have to hide behind cloths and have male escorts, contaminated water is retrieved from the nearby river, bathrooms are the towns streets, businesses are required to have paid protection, bland food is scare, and voices are silenced by jail and torture.

I have the privilege to own and drive beautiful classic cars, I own my home in the country, I can have lunch with friends, I have access to vast amount of information via the internet, and I can have practically everything delivered to my house by the weekend. I could go on and on.

We spend our time driving and showing our cars, visiting with car friends, and enjoying the fresh air. We do this because we can.

Our founding Father's fought for our freedom and our leaders have continued to keep our country free, therefore this is the time to reflect, appreciate, and remember what we are and where we would be without our Independence. Especially the Veterans who made it possible.

Don't forget Friday July 8 is Collector Car Appreciation Day. For more information click HERE.
