Happy 4th of July!

Dear friends,

One of Dave’s favorite historical fun facts is that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day, July 4 th , 1926 – exactly 50 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. These two great Presidents and Founding Fathers shared a common goal of American independence but differed vastly on the role government would play in maintaining that independence once secured. Despite these differences in approach, they were able to provide an impressive model to all citizens to follow on how to work together to accomplish mutual goals for the greater good of our country. It seems appropriate that they would leave this earth on the same day.

Likewise, Darrell and Dave share a commitment stated in our DFS mission “to help our clients experience freedom in their financial lives and then impact those whom they care about the most.”

Nevertheless, we undoubtedly approach this goal differently not only because we have different personalities but because each client plan should be tailored to each client’s unique situation.

As we gather to celebrate the 4th, let us remember and never take for granted the freedom our country continues to afford each of us. Let us look at the wonderful example of Adams and Jefferson’s partnership as our guide in approaching issues and problems of the day; that is to commit ourselves to their ideals of grace, compromise, respect, and trust serving to unite us rather than pull us apart.

Happy Independence Day everyone!!!

Darrell & Dave
