Despite shortcomings, from lynchings to bad faith in high places, our nation has had the most decent and kindly internal practices and foreign policies to be found anywhere in history." Thanks for reminding us all of what we do well. As someone famous once said, “I believe in — I am proud to belong to — the United States.

Coming from your heart, as it does, makes it so powerful. We're not perfect in this grand experiment called America, but no thing is ever perfect. It is the right to strive to be perfect in whatever way we can, that makes this such a blessed and welcoming land. Viola, what an inspirational story!
