Of all the celebrations today, the best was the email sent by The White House and First Lady Michelle Obama thanking our people in the military and the cook-out at the White House today thanking them for their dedication and sacrifices to help this country stay free.
It was also fun to see the hot dog eating contest at Coney Island and congratulations to the winner, Joey Chestnut.
The Firework celebrations here in Chicago and this includes my neighborhood, Lawndale were awesome and fun.
Actor Jimmy Smits featured a small spot on TV explaining today's celebration as Independence Day and exactly what and why we celebrate it.
Thanks Jimmy and thank you POTUS Barack Obmma and First Lady Michelle Obama for the reminding us most important part of today, celebrating our people in the military and their families who made this day, Independence Day possible.
Happy Birthday Melia Obama.
