How can we be so lucky, my family and I? To be born and to live our lives in a place that we are free to work as hard as we can and most be successful enough to have what we need and much of what we want. To be able to say what we think in public (and on a public forum like this) and to enjoy a democracy where every vote is counted and every opinion counts.
To be able to experience the natural beauty of a huge and diverse country and the experiences and life of a huge and diverse population? To be able to raise our children to have the same opportunities.
I am the granddaughter of German immigrants and my uncles fought in the second world war.........in Germany against Hitler.
I am proud to be an American and proud to share this life with all of you who love their country too.
