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. Times are tough in America right now but there’s still no other country that I would rather live in. We’ve been through tough times in the past and we’ll have tough times in the future but we will always came out stronger.

From the Shattered to Lens to you, have a safe and healthy 4th of July!
