Happy 4th of July from Battle Red Blog

Hopefully, this article finds you taking a quick on-line reading break from enjoying what is a wonderful observation of that most American of holidays: The 4^th of July. With this year seeing the 4^th fall on a Sunday, the US government is observing the 5^th as the Federal Holiday, but I am willing to wager that if people can, they will be taking some extended weekends/much needed leave/vacation. Much like Memorial Day, there will be no shortage of summer/outdoor activities, between picnics/barbeques, beach trips/pool visits, get-togethers will no shortage of food/drink and perhaps, if the weather cooperates in your part of the world, a return to fireworks displays and concerts that normally populate this glorious day.
