As millions of Americans celebrate the 235th anniversary of American Independence, Vox|Optima wants to take a moment to wish our families, friends, and clients a very safe and truly great celebration.
But due to our extensive personal and business connections with the U.S. Navy and the military in general, we also want to offer a reminder of why we get to have these celebrations each year. There are a lot of men and women all over the world today making sure we Americans can enjoy this anniversary. So during the fireworks, parades, concerts and hot dog-eating contests, please take a moment to remember those who now serve the interests of freedom and liberty and watch over us all.

Those events included basketball tournament, football throw, spades, dominoes, humvee pull, a magician, karaoke and live performances. (DoD photo by Tech. Sgt. J.T. May III)
