Reading the hollow words of criticism of one’s own country, one would not think America is the most wonderful place on the planet to live, raise kids and grandkids and grow old. But instead I read day after day in this newspaper that this “administration” and the rest of this country is so terrible, it does just bad things. What a bunch of hooey.
Administrations come and go, but the people are what makes America the greatest place on the planet. As a Vietnam veteran I know this first-hand because I served with the best America had to offer.
Americans are full of optimism and opportunity and the can-do and winning spirit. We just are! Why? Freedom – we enjoy being free – and, we’ll fight for it.
In the America I live in, our people are the country’s true gift to the world. It is the source of the light that attracts so many from so far away. America is a great place because of its people. Unfortunately, too often you wouldn’t know it reading the newspaper or worse. the Internet blogosphere! Again, a bunch of hooey!
The winning spirit is important. Without it you lose. The great thing is that in America, you can choose.
