Journal Entry

July 4th 2011



            Happy 4th of July to everyone! You may have noticed in the last few entry’s that I have been on a bit of a patriotic run. It’s just that time of year. I love my country, and I just want everyone to know that. Despite rumors to the contrary, we still live in the greatest country in the world! July 4th just seems to bring that out in me every year. Why you may ask? Well, just spend a little time reading about how we founded this great country of ours and you will gain some insight. We cannot forget the founding principles on which we formed this great nation. We have been and still are one nation, under god. I have a unique outlook on this as I spent my first 21 years living in other countries around the world.

            I spent 17 years living in the Middle East, In Libya and Dubai. Then 4 more years living in Asia, in Singapore and China. Needless to say, I have seen many different cultures and countries. I know firsthand that this country, the U.S.A, is by far the greatest place to be anywhere in the world! Don’t get me wrong, I loved living overseas for all those years, but coming home once a year was always a highlight. I have traveled the world, and yes, America is still the greatest! We must not ever forget that we are leaders, trendsetters, and we still show the rest of the world what they too could accomplish. I think in the last few years, we have somehow strayed away from these believes. It’s easy to become complacent in the world we live in today. I say do NOT let this happen. Remember, we are still the greatest country in the world. Take it from me, I know. God Bless America!
