where at least I know I’m free,
and I won’t forget the ones who died

who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up, next to you
and defend her still today
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
Have a happy, healthy and safe 4th of July <3
To all of my non-American friends, have a wonderful and relaxing Sunday 
See ya later today with Orlando shenanigans

Happy 4th of July! I’m very proud to be an American – even though I hope to become as “un-american” as possible when I move to France in September!
This is definitely my favorite holiday, since it’s all about being proud of the freedom’s we’ve been given, spending time with family and friends, and it brings everyone together! Have a fun and safe 4th of July!
Happy 4th to all! I am happy that the pilot could be with you today.

Tell the pilot I said thanks for representin’! I grew up surrounded by military, with my daddio in the Army, and I know the lifestyle takes A LOT of sacrifice. I’m sooooo glad you have him home to celebrate with this weekend.

Thank you Gina! We had a relaxing hot Sunday
Since 2 weeks we have more than 30°C! That’s a lot for us here 
Our Sundays are normally lazy. Sometimes we visit our families, but mostly we spend time together and relax. My fiancé is also working and traveling a lot, so we appreciate our lazy Sundays
I hope you had a Happy Fourth of July
I LOVE THIS.
you and the Pilot rock.
What a great post Gina! Hope you had an awesome 4th!
you are wonderful. and so is your hubby for fighting for our country
the pilot is an american hero! and so are YOU and all of the military families who provide the support to keep them going strong! our freedom definitely does not come free.. hope y’all had an amazing day!
Special thanks to you and your hubby for all you do to support our country! I get all teary when I think about families that sacrifice so much for our country and it’s even more wonderful to get to “know” those special people through the blog. Thank you both!
