Yes, I am an American, and yes, I’ve been posting flags and fireworks all day today, but the 4th of July is a very special holiday for me. Whatever your political affiliation, I think it’s important to remember the lives of the brave men and women who sacrificed everything for their loved ones back home. Please take a moment today to remember those who gave their lives to keep us safe and free.

Frequent flier Clinton hits 100-country mark

Politics aside, that’s impressive! And while I’ll readily admit to being a Republican, I think that Secretary Clinton is doing a good job.
