Rasmussen Gas Logs will be closed in observance of Independence Day Thursday, July 4 and Friday, July 5. We will reopen Monday, July 8 at 8:00 AM PDT.

Here we are, 237 years later. While some in our country put their lives on the line for us and our country’s ideals while serving in the military and public safety organizations (prayers for the Arizona 19), most of us will spend Independence Day grilling and spending time with family and friends. There is nothing wrong with that, but I suggest that you spend a few minutes in reflection on the many sacrifices Americans have made throughout our history to secure the blessings of liberty for our countrymen. One simple yet powerful ritual to bring meaning to your 4th of July is found at http://www.prageruniversity.com/4th-of-july-declaration.html  Be sure to at least watch the eight minute video on this page, which I hope you will share with your family and friends.

Have a safe and memorable Independence Day.

God Bless America!
