July 2010 - Being an American



I am so unpatriotic.
I try, not very hard, but at times I do try to get into it, for the boys sake.
My brother is in the Army. I know that he is sacrificing his life for our freedom and I am thankful. I am not thankful for the war and I am not thankful for all of the shady politics.
I am not thankful for hotdogs, fanny packs, red/white/blue sweatshirts, Walmart, or Pepsi.
I am thankful for my safety and for the freedoms that I get to enjoy.
I am thankful that I am able to raise my boys in America.
I am glad that they have never experienced warfare first hand.
I am thankful for the fact that they can be anything that they want to be.
We are truly blessed.
