Rep. Jim Cantwell

was honored to attend a most poignant and patriotic 4th of July ceremony yesterday.  Met with Joe and Karen Kelley, who lost their son, Michael, in Afghanistan, and spoke to US Army Chief of Staff General George Casey about the challenges facing our military.  The words of the Declaration of Independence have such greater meaning when you remember the folks who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the ideals upon which our Country was founded.   http://www.patriotledger.com/topstories/x2071997710/Scituate-honors-soldiers-at-Fourth-of-July-event
