Today the Jasper family starts a new tradition-each July 4th we will set aside time as a family to read the Declaration of Independence. We will remind ourselves of how this greatest nation on God's green earth was started. We will remind ourselves why this nation was started, and we will keep in mind during our day the awesome sacrifice that was paid, and that continues to be paid, for the freedoms that we so often take for granted.
I encourage you and your family to do the same. You can download a FREE copy of the Declaration of Independence here:

In closing, may I encourage you to take a moment to read Francis Scott Key's immortal words?
"Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"
God Bless!
Jason Jasper
