A few years ago my family and I attended the 4th of July celebration in Boston, Massachusetts. It’s an overwhelming experience to stand there while they read the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the Old State House. There’s nothing like standing on the bridge in Concord where the first shot of the revolutionary war rang out our country’s desire to be free from the tyranny of the British. It’s one of those surreal experiences that makes you realize the cost of freedom and all the sacrifices our men in military make every day to protect that freedom.

Serving in the military is one of the noblest of sacrifices and each year college-bound teens aspire to attend one of our nation’s military academies. So today I would like to share a previous post about the steps needed to attend a military academy.

Steps to attending a service academy and/or getting an ROTC scholarship

Happy 4th of July and as you’re celebrating remember that freedom only comes when people are willing to sacrifice for that freedom.
