Happy Fourth of July NSTGers!

I would like to wish all Americans in our NSTG Guild a Happy Fourth of July. We are lucky to be born in and live in a country that is famous for its rich culture and traditions. We should make this Fourth of July memorable by counting the blessings that we have received and appreciating our hard earned freedom. Before we celebrate our freedom we should remember those who laid down their lives for us. Let us celebrate our heroes today and never forget the blood, sweat, toil and all the incredible sacrifices that they made to bring us our freedom and peace.

God Bless America!
