You know in this election year when the rhetoric is heating up and dire consequences are being predicted if the other side wins the election for president and control of Congress I am reminded of something I wrote in high school. It was a national VFW sponsored "I Speak For America" essay contest. Despite all the fussing and feuding every four years, and no matter what has come and gone over the years this still applies, and will continue to apply. BB
America is not an administration or a president because they come an go. America is much deeper than any one person or group of people because they have their 15 minutes of fame and fade away leaving no real lasting memories. America is far beyond any political stance at any given time because these change with the winds. America can not be defined by its segmented parts on any given day or year or decade or century. America, Friend is defined by only one ideal: Freedom.
My grandparents came to America for Freedom. Freedom to speak any words they wished to speak. Freedom to earn their living the way they chose. Freedom to live where they preferred. Freedom to worship the God who moved them. FREEDOM to pursue any dream and make it a reality.
