It’s almost time for night to all and the fireworks to begin so here’s just a quick reminder from Marilyn Monroe.
Celebrate but be safe! The 4th of July calls for celebration but it’s not worth it if you’re not around for the fifth!
Is there anything better than blurry pictures of fireworks on the 4th of July?
I don’t know but I do know that I always enjoy taking them. For me, they’re as much a part of the 4th as visiting with family and cooking out. In honor of the 4th, here are some of my favorite blurry fireworks pictures:

Reagan’s Raiders was a comic book that ran for a total of three issues in 1987. It imagined President Ronald Reagan as a super hero who, with the members of his administration, would fight evil around the world. According to this article, a scientist had discovered a way to give them the bodies of young men.
It sounds like the comic books were meant to be satirical but the three covers make Ronald Reagan look like the greatest President that we’ve ever had. (The cover of the second issue should be hanging in the White House, in my opinion.) Here, just in time for the 4th of July, are the three covers of Reagan’s Raiders!
During the summer, from May to July, one of our local churches plants flags across the town and hangs ribbons on the street signs. It may not seem like much but it’s something that I look forward to every year. It’s reminder that we’re more than just a location. We’re a community.

With this being Independence Day weekend, it seems appropriate to take a moment and pay our respects to one of the first female super heroes of World War II, Miss Victory! In an age dominated by super-powered men, she was a woman who simply decided that she could better aid her country by wearing a costume and fighting its enemies. By day, she was Joan Wayne, a stenographer. But, when America’s enemies needed a good beat down, she became Miss Victory!
Happy Independence Day!
This is my favorite holiday, Today is a day when we think about the past, consider the present, and have hope for the future. America has been through a lot in its history. It’s been through a lot in just my lifetime! Some people like to get down on America but there’s no other country that I would rather live in. This is my country and I love it.
From the Shattered to Lens to you, have a safe and healthy 4th of July!
