I’m so thankful I was born here!
You know how some people celebrate Christmas in July. I like to celebrate Thanksgiving on the 4th of July.
It’s a day to be truly thankful to be an American. It’s such an amazing country that millions around the world will stake everything they have to get here and enjoy the same freedom that those of us who were born here enjoy every day. Some new arrivals may think we take our freedom for granted (read the story of one first generation American who thanks his mother for coming here). Well, that may be true for some Americans (and we know who we are talking about don’t we?) but it’s not true for me.
Today is a celebration of Thanksgiving for being so fortunate to live in one of the greatest nations that ever blessed the surface of the earth.
It’s a day to be proud of our accomplisments, our history and the hard won freedom that made it all possible.
Celebrate with music
Two favorites here: Lee Greenwoods “Proud to be an American” and the US Air Force Band’s jazz version of “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” If you are done with loud sounds for the day and ready to mellow out, how about the USAF Band’s instrumental version of “America the Beautiful?”
