The time and place is now etched in our minds as it was during the JFK assassination (1963), the Reagan attempted assassination (1981), and the 9-11 terrorist attacks (2001).

What an up-and-down world we live in. 

As you celebrate the American Independence this year, please soothe your national and personal concerns with five rock-solid pillars of the Fourth of July.
