I love this country. Period. Yes, we have our problems, and yes the divisive rhetoric does not help, but America is still the country of dreams.
Great countries survive and flourish, even when the storms come calling. For now, we must breathe in the hope that great things lie ahead. America has a history of bouncing back — always has, always will.
With all the challenges facing us as a nation today, I would still choose to make this beautiful country my home — every day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
Happy Independence day. May the fourth be with you!
