They would give you the shirt off their back and they would give it with a smile. I have to believe that the majority of Americans still fit this description of being hardworking, decent people who want the American dream for themselves and their children. They love and serve their country and are proud to call themselves Americans. The politicians, crackpots and zealots that make the news headlines do not represent the people of America. They represent their own self interests and questionable beliefs, and they do not represent the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, the Pledge of Allegiance or that wonderful song “America the Beautiful”. They make a lot of noise and they receive a lot of media attention and, like it or not, they are entitled to voice their opinions. However, the real heroes here are the people quietly working in their communities to make life better for everyone. So many people are hurting, discouraged or have broken spirits and they need hope and comfort for themselves and their families. Those heroes are the ones who should be making the headlines, the ones who make a real difference. You and your readers are amongst them db. That eagle still needs to fly free and proud so keep the faith that things will get better. This Canadian believes that they will.pacifica62https://www.blogger.com/profile/03433535460716644295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-41699147872279345572010-07-04T17:46:30.663-04:002010-07-04T17:46:30.663-04:00I know the place...

Somewhere, somehow in some small town or city your vision for "a more perfect union" does exist. In all of the chaos there has to exist some good that reflects the vision that your forefathers had for these United States of America. A country of compassion, understanding and friendship as your geographical friends have known it. Happy July 4th.pacifica62https://www.blogger.com/profile/03433535460716644295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-26030239327740867172010-07-04T12:48:37.748-04:002010-07-04T12:48:37.748-04:00I must not be functioning a full power.
