I am Proud to be an American

I am proud to be an American!

I am blessed to live in the land of the free,

a caring, generous country,

with innovative and hard working citizens.

 

A country with opportunities to succeed

for those who prepare themselves,

also a country that needs her citizens

 to protect and uphold her traditions.

 

God, please bless this land and keep it safe;

help the patriots who love it, protect it,

and insure its continuation and growth

as a free and sovereign nation.

Amen. From your mouth to G-d's ears, Katharine.

THANK YOU!

The Words That Got to Me

'also a country that needs her citizens to protect and uphold her traditions' - I liked this acknowledgement that not all is shiny and wonderful in the land of the free.

I thought you expressed your patriotic feelings well here. You are proud of your country and its citizens and that comes across well.
