Editor,
As the greatest country in the world turns 250, this American could not be prouder to call this place home. There is no country in history that has been more welcoming and tolerant to people of all walks of life.
Editor,
As the greatest country in the world turns 250, this American could not be prouder to call this place home. There is no country in history that has been more welcoming and tolerant to people of all walks of life.
We are not perfect, but we’re the closest anyone has ever come. It’s why people are still risking their lives to come here daily. We are one of the few places where an immigrant can come, work hard and make something of themselves. For better or worse, we are the policing and stabilizing force of the entire world.
Whenever a disaster occurs, America is usually first to lead in aid, both from money and logistical support. So before you bash this country, especially if you live here and enjoy its freedoms, remember there are millions of people from around the world who’ve discovered through the World Cup our greatness.
As one of them said, if you want to hate America, listen to the media. If you want to love America, drive across it. Happy Birthday U.S.A.!
