Healthy Kids Pediatricswould like to send a BIG thank you to all the men and women who serve or have served in our armed forces, especially those that call Healthy Kids Pediatrics their child's medical home.

It is because of your daily service and sacrifice to our country that we are ensured that the freedom of America is protected.

For the month of July, Healthy Kids Pediatrics will have a bulletin board dedicated to all military personnel and we would be honored if you would send a picture of your family member to info@healthykidspediatrics.com (or someone else you would like us to especially honor.)  If you do not have a picture, a name will be awesome as well.

This month we will be celebrating the 4^th of July with a day off work, gathering with friends and/or family for a barbecue or a picnic in the park and watching fireworks.

The Library of Congress reminds us that On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence, announcing the colonies' separation from Great Britain. The Constitution provides the legal and governmental framework for the United States, however, the Declaration, with its eloquent assertion "all Men are created equal," is equally beloved by the American people.

Thank you . . . . . . . 

The freedom and independence that we so enjoy and yes, take for granted are still being protected daily by men and women who choose to serve our country in the armed forces and even to the point of sacrificing their lives.
