For as long as i remember the  one name ,other than the name of Jesus, that always brought tears to my eyes,was the name of my great country, America! You see when i was growing up they always taught me about the greatness of this wonderful nation. I didn't hear all the negitive things about her until i was much older. All i ever knew about america was the goodness she had done. How she was founded on the belief that all men were created equal. That no one person or group of people was above the other.

I learned about our first president and how our goverment was formed. I learned respect for our flag and was very proud to be an american. Well, alot of time has passed since those days and we have been through alot of terrible times, but one thing remains constant. I love America and she is the greatest nation on earth!!

We have been through two world wars and 911. We've seen the flag burned and watched our economy fall apart. But there are some things we all need to remember about this great nation. For all the bad people like to point out, there is so much good. We are a people united for a single cause. To form a more perfect union, to stand head and shoulders above the rest. We have always rushed to the side a fallen friend, to the helpless and the hungry all over this world. America is a good nation. She is full of good works. With arms wide open, we have rescued millions! Oh beautiful, for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain. We seem to be having a bad time right now, but i believe in America! I know that no matter what comes her way, she is up to the task. She will build better trucks and cars, provide for her own, and always fight to keep us free! To all our service men and women, Thank you for all you are doing! God bless America and may freedom always ring!!!
