I just received a very interesting email about the Leica camera company's efforts to save its employees from the Holocaust.  

It's  a bit long to post here, but a worthwhile read.  (shouldn't take more than a minute or two to look at)

I've put it  up at http://www.firemark.net/lft.html

My son gave me a hug this morning as alwayse whe we see each other.. but it means so much more on the 4th ..  with a hug came his words...  Freedom is not free... Thank you..

I remember why...  Happy 4th. of July to all who have.. and who are fighting for our freedom...
