Being born in another Country and becoming a Citizens of the Great United States is one of the treasures I cherish most in my heart. Fourth of July is for me a time to really feel free and get teary eyed when I see the fireworks exploding high above our heads and hear the bands playing the most patriotic music they can find.

4th of July is a time when I feel so proud of this my new and beloved Country for all its accomplishments and lessons we have taught ourselves and the world. Sure there have been some bad times and some bad lessons, but as a whole this Country has done for the World more than any other Country ever! And I am very proud of that.

I am proud to be a tiny piece of the whole that America is. A tiny piece of a whole that means so much to so many people all over the world.

I am an American, and I am the happiest during this time of the year when I feel so free and when I whish other Countries could experience the same feelings I and we all, are experiencing now and throughout the ups and downs, the goods and bads, in fact, throughout the year.

Happy 4th of July all year through!
