America

To America Herself: Thank you. You stand for freedom, for fairness, for achieving our dreams. You encourage your citizens to improve themselves as an individual, as a family, as an organized people, and as a country. It is thanks to you that I am who I am today.

To our American Fathers: Thank you. Without your dedication and hard work, America would not exist.

To our American Troops: Thank you to all of you. Without you out there to protect and represent our county, we would not be free. We could not express ourselves, improve ourselves, worship how we want, or live the way we want to. Freedom is an ongoing privilege, and I thank you personally for protecting mine.

To anyone involved in the September 11 tragedy: I support you. I offer my condolences to those that were lost. I offer my love to those that survived. I offer my gratitude to those that rescued. I offer my American pride to all that were affected and have been made stronger. We are one, and we will survive.

To those that celebrate America's birthday: July 4th is our day. This is the day we celebrate our freedoms. We remember where we have come from. We treasure our heritage and look to our future. This day is dedicated to America.

To the American citizens: I stand by you. Stand up. Stand tall. Stand Proud. Love your country and your fellow citizens. Even if you are not in favor of war (as most of us are not), support your troops and their leaders. Support those that protect your freedom and your privileges. Respect the flag. It is the representation of Her colors.We are strong. We are true. We are blessed. We are Americans.

What a sacred title that is. America. What a privilege to be told you are an American. The sound of it brings strength to the weak, comfort to the hurting, and blessings to all of us. I respect her name. I respect her land. I respect her guardians. I am American by blood, by heart, and by soul. And I am proud of who I am.

Please feel free to leave your words here. America is for all of us, and this is where we can express our feelings and gratitudes to her. Thank you.
