so THANKFUL to be an AMERICAN on this WONDERFUL July 4th! Say it LOUD
What makes you very proud to be an American? What makes America the greatest country in this world? What do you wish for America?I have to be honest - I love this country, but I certainly don't find it to be the best one on Earth for numerous reasons. I'm proud of my heritage, but I know there are many wonderful countries. I am most proud of being a world citizen and human being - I feel no need for extreme patriotism. I suppose that view will be unpopular, but I've always felt that way. It seems silly to me to proclaim one's own country the "best on Earth". If we haven't lived elsewhere, how can we possibly know that for sure?
