What Does the Fourth of July Mean to You?

It is the patriotic day. What can you say other than that? It is a day to remember service men that have given their lives over the years.

Just another work day. That’s the way trucking is. I have to work every holiday but Christmas. It’s also big firecracker day and a good day to be home and in the pool.

Terry Wilson

Good day to be off and to be thankful for all the freedoms I enjoy.

Bill Holland

Millport, Ala.
Freedom. I’m a veteran who spent five years in Germany.

Gus Montengro

Humble, Texas
Independence. It’s what the United States stands for. It’s like trucking; you’re free to do whatever you want.

Gary Trombley

Patriotism. Independence. Freedom.

I used to be in the Navy. For kids, it’s fireworks, and for adults, it’s usually a day off.
