We here at Ramblin’ Fan just want to wish everyone out there a happy 4th of July. It has been crazy hot here in St. Louis over the past week or so, so stay hydrated and safe if you are going to spend your holiday outdoors. Personally, I will be enjoying myself by attending the Cardinals game against the Rockies and taking in the fireworks, so it should be a good day.

We also want to recognize all of the troops out there fighting for our great country. They are the ones who allow us to enjoy the freedom to celebrate our holidays, so we keep them in our thoughts.

Enjoy yourselves today and when you do, remember what makes our country so great.
