Land of the Free

I have lived for extended amounts of time in two other countries besides the United States. From those countries I have many wonderful and many horrible memories. Those memories have become part of who I am...and why I am the way I am. And as a result of my young life abroad, I discovered at a very early age that I am a True American in every sense. We have privileges in this country that we take for granted, but that so very many people would risk life and limb to get the chance to experience. Take a moment today, July 4th, our Independence Day, and reflect for just a moment on how very fortunate we are to live in this great country!
