INDEPENDENCE DAY MESSAGE FROM VA WATCHDOG
DOT ORG -- "Always remember, it's Independence
Day,
not just the Fourth of July."

Message below:
-------------------------
Call
me old-fashioned. But, when I grew up, this was Independence Day.
The date is the Fourth of July, but the Holiday is Independence Day.
Somewhere between then and now, we seem to have misplaced that concept.
We wave the flag, but do we take the time to
tell our children and grandchildren of the epic struggle to form this
great nation? Too often not.
My wish for today is that we never forget the
sacrifices made 231 years ago.
Always remember, it's Independence Day, not
just the Fourth of July.
