Some are celebrating the Fourth

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July.  Some thoughts about that. 

While many of us will grill out, head out on the water, and likely enjoy a fireworks show in the evening, there are others who won’t be doing much celebrating.  

They’ll be working. The police officers, firemen, doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, and heck, even the clerks at Kwik Trip.  

The services they provide help keep us safe, healthy, and allow us to enjoy our freedoms a little bit more.   

Thank them for what they do. I certainly appreciate what they provide for our community. 

And I appreciate the people who use their freedom of expression to protest or advocate their positions on the issues facing this country. You may or may not agree with what those people on the street corner are saying or showing with their signs, and that’s your right, too. Both sides have that freedom.   

So, here’s to number 249. May you be safe and well this holiday as best you can. And let’s pray that number 250 is better for everyone here in the Coulee Region and in America.  

As I see it, I’m Kevin Millard
