5 Reasons I'm Grateful . . .

To Be an American.

Blogging has been at the bottom of a long list of to dos and since life has been busy lately I haven't made any progress on said list.  A while ago I said I was going to post about being thankful.  Clearly that didn't stick.  But since Facebook has been alive with what everyone is thankful for I was reminded that I intended to post about thankfulness regularly. 

1.  I am grateful for this country that is "of the people, by the people, for the people."

2.   Even though my opinions rarely match the popular ones, I am grateful to live in a country where we choose our future through a free vote.

3.  I am grateful for all of the brave men and women who have given their lives in service for this country.

4.  I am grateful that we have an all volunteer military.  Because of the freedom to say no, their yes means so much more.

5. I am grateful that the American dream is still a reality.  Hard work and perseverance can bring you to your goals.  We are limited only by ourselves. 

It's not a complete blog post without a picture.  My little patriot and future veteran.
