I am taking a few minutes before it gets dark (fireworks start soon) to say how much I appreciate being an American. This country has its faults, but its greatest strength is the Bill of Rights, and a embracing the right of our fellow countrymen to dissent. No one is thrown in jail in America for criticizing the president or the government. The press is not controlled by the government. We have orderly transitions of government.
Although I am not always proud of what America does, I am proud to be an American, and to work with and for America’s veterans.
