On this 4th of July weekend, we once again reflect upon and give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy in this country.  While we are excited to build and sell saunas throughout the world, everyone at Almost Heaven Saunas recognizes that our ability to conduct commerce and live free in this country came at a price that others before us were willing to pay.  We pass on the following for your information for you to reflect upon as you enjoy your holiday:

THE PRICE THEY PAID – Author Unknown

Have you ever wondered what happend to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? 

• Five signers were captured by the British as traitors and tortured before they died.
• Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
• Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army.
• One had two sons captured by the British.
• Nine of the 56 fought and died from their wounds or from hardships faced during the Revolutionary War. 

What kind of men were they?

• Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.
• Eleven were merchants.
• Nine were farmers and large plantation owners.
• Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy.  He sold his home and properties to pay his debts and died in rags.
• Thomas McKean was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.  He served in Congress without pay and his family was kept in hiding.  His possessions were taken from him and poverty was his reward.
• Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Ellery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnet, Heyward, Rutledge and Middleton.
• At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr. noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters.  He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire.  The home was destroyed and Nelson died bankrupt.
• Francis Lewis had his home and propertied destroyed.  The enemy jailed his wife and she died within a few months.
• John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying.  Their 13 children fled for their lives.  His fields and gristmill were laid to waste.  For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. 

Give thanks for freedom and give thanks for those who did and DO sacrifice to protect our freedom.  May God Bless America!

If you follow our Sauna Blog, you obviously notice that we post entries on a frequent basis.   There are two reasons why we blog so regularly.  First, we blog because it helps move us up in search engine rankings, plain and simple.  When properly written and referenced, a blog will help a web site move up in the search engines, and that is the goal of any business.  Almost Heaven Saunas has high rankings on relevant searches, and this is partially due to our consistent blogging.

The second and more important reason is that blogging is a great way for us to provide information to our customers.  Most of our blog entries are based on questions or comments we receive from customers on a daily basis.  If we feel the information is relevant to other customers – and it usually is – we want to share it.  If you have comments or questions concerning our blog postings or any other sauna information, please contact us and we will answer your question or enter your comments in one of our blog posts.  We welcome your questions and feedback!

Due to the famous song by John Denver, there are MANY businesses in West Virginia using the phrase, Almost Heaven in their name.  However, there is only one Almost Heaven Saunas, and we have been building Finnish steam saunas and cedar barrel sauna kits  in the heart of West Virginia for over thirty years.

The Greenbrier River in West Virginia

We are located in Greenbrier County, not far from the beautiful Greenbrier River, on highway 219, exactly 19 miles north of the I-64 interchange in Lewisburg.  Is it Almost Heaven?  Absolutely, and if you visit the Greenbrier Valley, you will most certainly agree!  Stop by if you’re in the area and we’ll give you a tour.  You will see first hand the hand-crafted quality of our famous cedar Barrel Sauna Kits and other fine Home Saunas!

On this Memorial Day, Almost Heaven Saunas wants to acknowledge the sacrifice of those who have given their lives for this country and the freedom we enjoy.  This morning  I attended the Memorial Day parade in our town of Holland, Michigan and was very moved by the procession of veterans marching down the parade route.  Seeing the scores of veterans of all ages made me proud; proud of this country, and proud to be represented and defended by such a dedicated group of men and woman for more than two centuries.

America gets bashed, even by our own, but it is remarkable that all those who fault America for everything that is wrong in the world would give nearly anything to live here.  I say nearly, because only those who gave their lives in defense of free peoples everywhere paid the ultimate price. To these heros and their families we say, thank you for your sacrifice.  We will never forget.

May we all have a blessed holiday celebrating all that we treasure and remembering the treasure that was given for us to do so.

Rick Mouw, President
