With a nice long weekend coming up and the festivities soon to get underway for most of us, we'd like to wish you all a happy, safe 4th and send a big thank you to all the troops in the various branches of the armed services keeping us safe abroad and domestically, as well as all those who have served in the past. Most especially, we want to remember those that have given their lives protecting us and our country. Regardless of your political views and personal dispositions concerning our president, the war, and whatever else, these guys and girls are the real heroes and I'm sure most of the athletes and celebrities we write about or mention on this website would agree with that sentiment.

...Plus, putting together a "4th of July" post allows me to put this picture in here:



Awesome.
