The Fourth of July brings the pride of America to the forefront. No matter what the flavor or tone of the political scene, July 4th is every American’s birthday party. Lucky for us the forefathers declared independence in the summer when days are ripe for picnics, parades, and spangly celebrations.

Recently, I was honored to have another great blogger share her writing and family stories. Antoinette Truglio Martin shared her love of writing and family stories from her blog, Stories Served Around the Table. Scanning her tales, readers will become lost in her prose and memories. Enjoy her Fourth of July Memory.
