Keep in mind:Buying a house should not be a
“rusH” to contract.
It takes time and energy to
reach a decision on the house
you’re purchasing, that is,
...Will the family outgrow it
too fast?
...Can I really afford it?
...Will the taxes increase?
...Will the value increase?
...What about equity?
you need an “experienced”realtor to guide you in your
search and final decision...
not just today...but to make
sure your purchase will be a
“good” investment and build
“equity” in your future.

Ryan Gavorsky of Boy ScoutTroop 301 is planning a PancakeBreakfast at the VFW hall locatedon Lake Avenue in St. James (nextto King Kullen) on Sunday, July 25and August 8 from 8-11 a.m. inorder to raise funds for his EagleScout project. A donation of $5 isrequested. For Ryan’s Eagle Scout project
he is planning to build a ChickenCoop for the Smithtown AnimalShelter.There are approximately 30
chickens housed at the SmithtownAnimal Shelter. Currently theyhave a bunch of old dog housesand a truck bed cover for thechickens, which is messy and dis-organized and offers little protec-tion from the elements. Thesemake-shift shelters are placedaround the property.
Ryan’s chicken coop will bringthe chickens farther away from theparking lot and road and will pro-vide better safety and securityfor the chickens, along withproper shelter, food andwater. The food and strawwould no longer be all overthe pavement and thechickens will be safe fromthe weather. This past win-ter was really bad. With thenew chicken coop thechickens will be safe fromthe wind, rain and snow.Ryan’s chicken coop will
benefit the SmithtownAnimal Shelter as well asthe Town of Smithtown asit would clean-up, organize andbeautify the area. Also, the AnimalShelter will now have a chance tocollect good chicken eggs if
they so choose.Be sure to stop by the VFW on
July 25 and August 8, and enjoy atasty breakfast and help Ryan
build his chicken coop.

Swiss MissSwissy (Swiss Miss) is sweet
and affectionate, she loves herbelly rubs most of all. Swissy’sfavoriteactivityisgoingfor carrides.She isdefi-nitely a“get upand gogal.”She’smorethan content to accompany youon all your errands. She lovespeople, if she could speak, I amsure her motto would be “themore the merrier.” However, herlarge size and active naturemake her unsuitable for a homewith small children. Swissy getsalong with most dogs her ownsize. She cannot be placed withsmall dogs or cats. She likes toplay hard with other dogs anddoes display some dominance,particularly with females. Sheseems to do best with large maledogs of a similar activity level.Swiss Miss is one of those dogsthat you just take everywherewith you. Her large size, goodnature and unique look alwaysmake her a favorite with thoseshe meets. If you’re looking for atraveling buddy, you can’t gowrong with Swissy. She’s greatfun and super affectionate. Witha liberal dose of good looks –she’s just too much to resist.
Please have your pets spayed /neutered and vaccinated.Visit the Smithtown Animal
Shelter’s website to see all theirdogs and cats at www.smith-towninfo.com and click the linkon left side “ADOPT A PET,”or callthem at 360-7575.

As you can see, only one ortwo are in the realm of architec-ture or design, my playing field,yet they’re all about change, forgood or bad – the cause and ef-fect element that is so importantin home, as well as in life.Yet, what’s the point of antici-
pating 2050? How accurate cananyone be? And, some of uswon’t be around to check, any-way. Since scientists say thatonly humans can imagine the fu-ture, learning about what hu-manity will be up to provokesmany additional thoughts andquestions. What will the world ofinterior design be like 40 yearsfrom now? Will “modern” be the“modern” as we know it, orsomething remarkably different?What about transitional or tradi-tional styles? What will be the“new” antiques? Will form orfunction be redefined? How willinterior space look, then? Willdirt and mud actually replacetoday’s building materials, takingus all the way back to the begin-ning of architecture design?Life is so full of interesting par-
allels. This past weekend my sonDavid flew in to Long Island tocelebrate his father’s birthday. Hehad a chance to see his mom aswell, relaxed and happy andthen stressed because of all herwriting deadlines (including thisone). Alluding to the “Next 40”article and being the “tech” per-son he is, he suggested a boldheadline as a starter (for my de-sign column) “What if…”, whereI could talk about how moderntechnology has influenced de-sign and how it might do so inthe future. We batted around theidea over morning coffee. Shortlyafter, he accompanied me as Istopped by Wicks Nursery on25A to take a photo of the “BigWitch” (whose name I just dis-covered was Winnie) – for myoverdue House Magazine article.

continued from page 62Chatting with David Wicks, Jr.(Senior started out here in 1947,when there was more farmlandand a lot less people), my sonDavid remarked that he musthave seen a lot of changes sincehe was a kid. This led to a livelydiscussion of traffic, street lightsand curbs, farmland and build-ings, and my recollection of adecade ago fourth of July whenour town had a celebration com-plete with a little red trolley, fire-works at Gyrodyne and agathering of the oldest citizens ofSt. James in Burke Park. They,like David Wicks Sr., watchedthe post office relocate fourtimes, saw family type gatheringplaces come and go, and subur-bia develop. Many of them, likehim, regretted the loss of thesmall town camaraderie and the
invasion of buildings which tookaway so much farmland.When Bernie and I came out
here with our young sons, ages 6and 9, in 1976, I thought we hadmoved to the end of the world! Itdidn’t take long for me to appre-ciate the natural beauty andgrow to love the peacefulnessand “flavor” of St. James. Oftentimes, today, riding in the ever-present traffic, I too, long for thepast. Yet, I know we’re still livingin a pretty special place –friendly, warm and caring – stillembodying small town values.So what do you think St. James
will be like in 2050? Since Imight not be around to actuallysee it, I’d love to hear yourthoughts (info@nataliewein-stein.com). And what about myson’s suggestion to examine the“What if?” question, applying it
to our homes and our future?How will that affect the next 40years in our lives and those whocome after us?

by June a. LiardiAugust is a hot and steamy
month. Keep watering, weeding,deadheading and harvesting.Container plants may need watertwice a day now. Keep an eye onthem. Pull weeds after a rain andwhen they are small. It helps topull them before they spread theirseeds too. Weeds compete withyour wanted plants for water andnutrients. Whenever you are out-side admiring your garden, dead-head any spent flowers. By doingthis you will prevent the plantfrom putting its energy into seedproduction, instead of flower pro-duction. The same goes for har-vesting, the more you pick, themore the plant will produce. Thechildren will like this chore, I’msure.Sow another row or three of
peas, they will be ready to eat inSeptember. Lettuce, kale andspinach can be sown now too.Pull out tired bush beans andplant some more. Also put insome more nasturtium seeds in acontainer that you’ll be able tobring in before the frost. It willsoon be time to pot up some ofyour favorite herbs to grow insidefor the winter. You can start toorder your spring-flowering bulbsand garlic bulbs for planting in thefall.At this time of year, your herbs
are probably begging to be
trimmed and used. One tasty wayis to make some herbal sugarsyrups. Use them to sweeten deli-cious deserts, add some zip to asauce or flavor a cold beveragesuch as iced tea or lemonade.Sweeten icing or use as a glaze tospread on a cake or drizzle oversome of those beautiful summerfruits. You can use sweet herbssuch as lavender, lemon balm,lemon verbena, mint, pineapplesage or scented geranium. Manyherbs used for savory dishes makewonderful syrups also. Basil, rose-mary, sage and thyme add un-usual flavor to sweet foods.
Herb Syrup: 1 cup water, 2cups granulated sugar, 1 cup freshherb leaves or flowers, 1 TBS freshlemon juice, (optional) wholespices, such as vanilla bean or

chopped red or yellow (or both)tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped whiteonion, 1 clove garlic - choppedfine, 1 tbs. chopped fresh parsley,2 tbs. lemon juice, salt and pep-

beauty to your table with a bou-quet of wild grasses. There are somany different types around,along the roadside or on ameadow path. They are all niceand tall and forming their seedheads. The children would proba-bly enjoy gathering these grasses.Please be aware of poison ivy,ticks and bees though.Enjoy these warm sultry, wan-

Protecting Assets During Challenging Business Timessubmitted by Lawrence glazer, CLu, ChFC, LuTCFSmall businesses are the engine of the economy,
and when the economy sputters they often feel itfirst. In the current climate of uncertainty, manysmall businesses have cut expenses to the bone andtried to make their operations as lean and efficientas possible.But even if a small business owner can’t control
the marketplace, he or she can take steps to protecttheir key assets: the people the business relies upon.
Details Matter To CustomersA recession tests customer loyalty, as people cut
back on spending and carefully weigh their optionsfor even necessary purchases. For businesses that arestrapped themselves, it may be easy to let attentionto the details of customer service slip. But this is thetime that details matter most, whether it’s taking thetrouble to send a holiday note to your mailing list oroffering special deals to prize patrons. The key totheir loyalty is to let them know they matter to you.
Appreciate Your EmployeesOf course, you want your employees to know
they’re important, too. You need their knowledgeand experience to navigate the uncertain times. Therecession might mean sacrifices for everyone, but itis also a time to make sure valued workers knowhow much they are appreciated. Even small ges-tures, like movie tickets or a night at a local restau-rant, can keep morale steady.
Supplement Benefits, Not CostsYou may want to consider “beefing up” your em-
ployee benefits package. A “Voluntary Payroll De-duction” (VPD) program is one of the most popularways employees can purchase additional, person-ally-owned buy life insurance. A VPD program canusually be set up using your existing procedures forpayroll deduction. A life insurance agent would thenmeet individually with each employee to explain thebenefits of life insurance and the ease with which itcan be purchased. All products purchased throughVPD are employee-owned and paid for, with no di-rect out-of-pocket cost to you except the cost of ad-ministration. The VPD offerings can be a smart wayto supplement your overall benefits package, with-out draining your budget.
Note: Employee participation in a payroll deduction insuranceprogram is completely voluntary. Since this program is not in-tended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income SecurityAct of 1974 (ERISA), employers cannot contribute to, or endorse,this program.
Protect YourselfAs the owner of a business, you are the most im-
portant piece of the puzzle. And especially during continued on page 86

by Scott Posner, CFP, a.a.M.S.
You may not realize it, but July24 is Amelia Earhart Day. July 24was chosen because it’s the birth-day of perhaps the most famousfemale aviator in history. Earhart’sstory ended tragically when shebecame lost in the Pacific Oceanin 1937 on her voyage around theworld, but she is still celebratedfor her bravery and pioneer spirit.As an investor, you can learn a
lot from Earhart’s career. Here area few lessons to consider:
Plan aheadAfter a lengthy analysis of
Earhart’s final flight, decades afterit occurred, a noted aviation ex-pert came to one succinct conclu-sion: “poor planning, worseexecution.” Yet on her successfulflights, Earhart was known to haveproduced, and followed, detailedflight plans. As an investor, you,too, must plan your journey to-ward your financial goals. First,you need to identify your destina-tion, such as a comfortable retire-ment. Next, you must create a“map” to reach your goal, in theform of a detailed financial strat-egy based on an investment port-folio tailored to your risktolerance and time horizon. Andalong the way, you must chartyour progress via regular reviewsof your investments’ performance.
use the right “tools” Some sources have noted that,
on the fateful flight, Earhart didnot appear to fully understandhow to use her plane’s direction-finding loop antenna, which at thetime was a new technology. If youdon’t fully understand the“tools” – that is, the investments –you need to help achieve yourgoals, you may run into difficul-ties. Always know exactly whatyou’re investing in and whyyou’ve chosen those specific in-vestments. Without this informa-tion, you could end up withinvestments that are either toorisky for your comfort or too con-servative for your goals.
Follow your visionOn the day they disappeared,
Earhart and her navigator, FredNoonan, were scheduled to landon Howland Island. Unfortu-nately, it was a cloudy day; someresearchers speculate that theclouds’ dark shadows on theocean surface may have camou-flaged Howland and confused theaviators. As an investor, you needa clear view of what you want toaccomplish in the long term – andyou need to avoid having your vi-sion “clouded over” by short-termevents such as price drops and re-cessions.
Put sufficient “power” in your portfolioMany aviation scholars and re-
searchers believe Earhart’s planesimply ran out of gas before shecould land on Howland Island.Does you portfolio have sufficient“fuel” to help you go the distance?Specifically, do you have the rightmix of growth- and income-ori-ented vehicles to power you to-ward college for your kids, acomfortable retirement and yourother goals? If you’re not sure, youmay want to work with a profes-sional financial advisor to get theassistance you need.
You probably will never try tocircumnavigate the globe in asmall plane. But if you can emu-late the best features of AmeliaEarhart – such as her courage, per-severance and faith in the future –while taking steps to help focuson what you can control, your in-vestment journey may be reward-ing.

by John L. Belford, Jr., Esq.
In 1996 the New York State Leg-islature enacted a law authorizingtrusts for pets whose owners aredeceased. The trust may be estab-lished during the lifetime of theowner of the pet or by the petowner’s last will and testament.It would appear that it would be
more advantageous for the petowner to create a trust for the petbefore the owner’s death ratherthan put the trust in a last will andtestament. The named trustee ofthe trust can immediately takeownership of the pet after the petowner’s death and immediatelyaccess trust funds to be used forthe pet’s care. But if the trust for the pet is in
the pet owner’s last will and testa-ment, the person named to carefor the pet, and to access fundsfrom the estate for the benefit of
the pet, cannot officially take pos-session of the pet until the will isapproved by the Surrogate’sCourt. The time for such approvalwould be at least six (6) weeksand perhaps six (6) months ormore. During that time period other
relatives or friends of the decedentmay attempt to care for the pet orattempt to take the pet to a gov-ernmental facility for pets withoutowners, in which case the petmay be destroyed before the willis admitted to probate.
The trust may provide a stipendfor the caretaker during the pet’slife and upon the pet’s death.Upon the death of the pet, thefunds remaining in the trust aredistributed to the persons namedin the trust. If the trust does notname beneficiaries upon thedeath of the pet the assets in the
trust pass to the estate of the de-ceased pet owner. If the namedtrustee and other trustees are notwilling or able to act as trustee, aCourt will appoint a person to actas trustee of the trust.

Maintaining mobility is critical inorder to live free from pain and disabil-ity. Maintaining good mobility is not dif-ficult, but it does not happen on itsown.
Imagine waking up one morning witha frozen shoulder where you couldn’tmove your upper arm more than a fewinches in any direction. How muchwould that impact your ability to doyour job? How much would that affectyour ability to drive your car or even todress yourself? How much would thataffect your ability to concentrate onanything other than your shoulder? ob-viously, if your shoulder did not movecorrectly, it would have a dramatic im-pact on your life. Well, the same is truewith movement in every part of yourbody. If things aren’t moving the waythey are supposed to move, it will havea negative impact on your ability tofunction at work, take care of the de-mands of everyday life, and even yourability to concentrate.
Many patients with severe low backpain report that their pain came onsuddenly when they did something assimple as bend down to pet their cat,put on their socks, or pick up the news-paper. Just about everyone wouldagree that a person’s body should beable to handle such simple move-ments. So what has happened?
In every one of these cases, thejoints of the patient’s body were “alllocked up” — they were barely movingat all. When the joints in one area ofthe body do not move the way theyshould, other areas of the body areforced to move more in order to com-pensate. This creates a significantstress on those areas that have to pickup the slack, and it soon leads to painand inflammation. At the same time,the areas that don’t have normal move-ment will slowly worsen as the musclescontinue to tighten, the joints stick to-gether, and the ligaments and tendonsshorten. This leaves the body in a veryunstable condition; if left unchecked,this process will continue until the bodycan hardly move at all. That is how aperson comes to suffer flare-ups ofpain at the slightest provocation.
Most of us have seen people whohave lost most of their normal mobility:they look like bodies that have beenstarched stiff whenever they try tomove around. This is especially preva-lent among the elderly. Contrary topopular belief, however, this is not aninevitable effect of aging; rather it is theinevitable effect of not maintaining thebody’s mobility through exercise,healthy alignment, and body mechan-ics. There are people in their 60s, 70s,or even older, who are stronger and
more flexible than the average personin their 30s, simply because they keepthemselves exercising.
Maintaining mobility is critical inorder to live free from pain and disabil-ity. Maintaining good mobility is not dif-ficult, but it does not happen on itsown. Just as in developing a good pos-ture, it is necessary that you performspecific exercises and stretches tokeep your muscles, ligaments, and ten-dons flexible and healthy. In addition, itis necessary that all of the joints inyour body are kept moving correctly aswell. Although stretching can helpachieve a great deal of flexibility, mostpeople also find routine chiropracticadjustments to be very beneficial inrestoring normal joint function.

People are enjoying swimming intheir pools, sunbathing at thebeach and all the other activitiesthat summer has to offer. Unfortu-nately, the hot weather can be adifficult time for our furry com-panions, so we need to take somesimple precautions to ensure theystay healthy and happy during thesummer months:
• Always ensure that your pet hasplenty of fresh, clean wateravailable.
• Exercise your pet in the coolestpart of the day – usually earlymorning or evening.
• If your pet has a lot of fur, makethem more comfortable by hav-ing them shaved down for thesummer.
• Never leave your pet outside
during the hottest part of theday. Bring them inside to cooloff in the air conditioning.
• Never leave your pet alone inthe car. The heat inside a parkedcar can become like an ovencausing overheating, and oftenfatalities. This can happen in amatter of minutes!!!!
• Flea, tick and heartworm infes-tation is rampant during thesummer months. Protect yourpet by ensuring they are on ap-propriate preventatives.
• Protect your pet from sunburn.If your dog has a light nose orfur, apply sunscreen to the un-protected areas of their skin.
These are just some of the manythings you can do to protect yourpet during the hot weather. If yourpet shows any signs of distress inthe heat, please consult your vet-erinarian immediately.

by Jim WinterDistracted driving is extremely
dangerous and can cause per-sonal injury and property dam-age. Drivers who use hand-helddevices are four times as likely toget into crashes serious enough toinjure themselves.1 Even with ahands-free device, multi-taskingwhile driving could have seriousconsequences. You’ve seen it before; a vehicle
near you is weaving in the trafficlane or traveling well below thespeed limit. Chances are thatdriver is not focused on the road!According to the U.S. Depart-
ment of Transportation2, there arethree main types of distractions:
• Visual – taking your eyes offthe road
• Manual – taking your hands offthe wheel
• Cognitive – taking your mindoff what you are doing
Distracted driving isn’t justabout phone calls or text mes-sages. Many activities that takeyour attention away from trafficcan lead to accidents. Examplesof distracted driving include:
• Adjusting a navigation system
• Eating
• Grooming
• Reading
• Retrieving a dropped item
• Talking on the phone
• Texting
• Watching a video
Nearly half the U.S. states haverestrictions against activities thatcause distractions. Some statesban phone use in constructionzones and school zones. Othersplace restrictions on novice driv-ers and operators of commercialvehicles, such as large trucks andschool buses. Take the time to re-search the laws in your state andvisit www.distraction.gov.
So, the next time you reach for
the phone while driving, answerthis question: Is this call importantenough to risk hurting someone,or can it wait?

submitted by the Federal Emergency Managementadministration (FEMa)As the days get longer and
warmer, State and Federal emer-gency management officials warnthat extreme heat can be very dan-gerous and in some instances evenfatal, so it is important to be ready.When the air temperature or hu-
midity rises above optimal rangefor comfort, evaporation is slowedand the body must work harder tomaintain a normal temperature. Ex-posure to extreme heat can causephysical problems and may causeheat disorders or illnesses. Olderadults, young children and thosewho are sick or overweight aremost vulnerable to extreme heat.Conditions that can induce heat-
related illnesses include stagnantatmospheric conditions and poorair quality.During extremely hot weather,
you should take the following pre-cautions:• Stay indoors as much as you can,on lower floors if possible.
• Limit exposure to the sun anduse sun block with a high sunprotector factor rating (at least 15spf if you must be outdoors.
• If your home does not have airconditioning, spend the hottestpart of the day in public build-ings such as libraries, schools,movie theaters, shopping malls,and other community facilities.
• Use fans. Circulating air can coolthe body by increasing the per-spiration rate of evaporation.
• If you have window air condi-tioning, eliminate any holes orgaps around the installation.
• Check air-conditioning ducts forproper insulation.
• Eat well-balanced, light, and reg-ular meals. Avoid using salttablets unless directed to do so
by a physician.• Drink plenty of water. Personswho have epilepsy or heart, kid-ney, or liver disease; are on fluid-restricted diets; or have aproblem with fluid retentionshould consult a doctor beforeincreasing liquid intake.
• Limit intake of alcoholic bever-ages.
• Dress in loose-fitting, light-weight, and light-colored clothesthat cover as much skin as possi-ble.
• Protect your face and head bywearing a wide-brimmed hat.
• Check on family, friends, andneighbors who do not have airconditioning and who spendmuch of their time alone.
• Never leave children or petsalone in closed vehicles.
• Avoid strenuous work during thewarmest part of the day, 11 a.m.

continued• to 4 p.m. Have a buddy systemwhen working in extreme heat,and take frequent breaks.
• Exercise should be done in theearly morning hours between 4-7 a.m.
• Make sure there is enough foodand water for pets.
Heat-induced illnessesExposure to extreme heat can
cause serious illness. Heat Cramps are painful spasms,
usually in leg and abdominal mus-cles, and may be accompanied byheavy sweating.
Heat Exhaustion is more serious.Symptoms include heavy sweating,but skin may be cool, pale, orflushed. Fainting or dizziness,weak pulse, nausea, vomiting, ex-haustion, and headaches mayoccur.
If you experience any of thesesymptoms, sit or lie down in a cool
place, loosen your clothing, andsip half a glass of water every 15minutes. Discontinue drinkingwater if you become nauseous, andseek immediate medical attentionif vomiting occurs.
Heat Stroke is a severe medicalemergency and can be life-threat-ening. Symptoms include a highbody temperature, as much as 105degrees; hot, red, dry skin; rapid,weak pulse; rapid shallow breath-ing; and possible loss of conscious-ness. If you suspect you have heatstroke, seek immediate medical as-sistance or call 911.
Sunburn is a common summerproblem. In severe cases it cancause swelling, blisters, fever, andheadaches. Take a shower usingsoap to remove oils that may blockpores, preventing the body fromcooling naturally. Apply dry, steriledressings to any blisters and, if theypersist, see a doctor.
Energy Conservation• Power outages are more likely tooccur during warm weather,when utility usage is at its peak.To avoid putting a strain on thepower grid, conserve energy tohelp prevent power disruptions
• Set your air conditioner thermo-stat no lower than 78 degrees.
• Only use the air conditionerwhen you are home.
• Turn non-essential appliancesoff. Only use appliances thathave heavy electrical loads earlyin the morning or very late atnight.For more information visit:

Most sports injuries occurwhen physical stresses areplaced upon unconditionedbodies. The majority of Amer-icans are inactive and seden-tary, despite the currentinterest in fitness. Only one ofthree adults in the U.S. exer-cises regularly. Inactivityleads to unconditioned mus-cles, joints and tendons.The number one way to
prevent summertime sportsinjuries is proper body condi-tioning. Proper body condi-tioning consists of thefollowing:
Cardiovascular StrengthThis is the ability of the
heart and blood to carry oxy-gen to cells of the body. Thisis increased by aerobic exer-
cise such as walking, swim-ming, dancing, cycling, etc.
Muscular Tone & FlexibilityThis is achieved through
daily stretching and yoga.Stretching improves agilityand reduces the chance of in-jury.
Muscular Strength & EnduranceThis can be achieved by
using weights and with iso-metric exercise.Many summertime sports
injuries involve the neck,back and other joints. Seeyour doctor of chiropractic to assure that your spine is inproper alignment before be-ginning any strenuous exer-cise program.

Rhyme Time
by David F. McKell
When I pick up a Poem, instead of Tome,I read it and look for the rhyme.But these days it’s quite rare,
tho’ you search everywhere.... To find music in words any time!
Though poignant and true, and quite meaningful too....old verses now seem passé.Because minimalists have compiled lots of listsof serious words for today!
The harsh sturms and drangs, with deep heartfelt pangs
Seem to dominate most of their blendings.There is no call at all for tales large or smallThat will offer true Happy Endings.
But, be that as it may, at the end of the day,The rhymers will always perdure.With their iambic beat and phrases so sweet....They are welcomed by all to be sure!

P O E T ’ S C O R N E R
Libertyby John TaratunioFairfield Condos
reflect a moment
on the phrase “Land of the Free”
and what it cost, so that could be.
of the lives that were lost in the battles we fought
To preserve the ideals that our forefathers sought.
and whenever a tyrant or dictator tried
To take away this freedom he surely died.
So no matter where, in this world I may be,
I am proud to stand up and say,
I’m from the land of the free.
The Fourth of July, 2010by Ed Gaskell
What did you do on the Fourth of July?
did you watch a parade?
did you wave your flag high?
did you remind yourself why
We live in the land of the Free?
Say a prayer for our soldiers
Who fight for you and me.
and send them a package
or a card or a letter,
and tell them we appreciate every day better
The freedoms they guard for us, every day.
Send the package and letter, Today.
