“I wake up in the morning and thank God that I live in America-the land of opportunity and the home of the brave. I wake up knowing that my country has provided me with the very cloak of freedom I wrap around me each day. I wake up knowing that I am can be and do anything I choose, and that others have sacrificed their lives so that I may do so.
I wake up in the morning and salute my flag, a symbol of America’s courage, honor and strength. And I pray each day for my service men and women fighting to keep those symbols alive, burning in our hearts.
In America, if you can dream it, you can be it. Being an American means taking the good with the bad and having the bravery to make a difference in someone else life. America is pride, courage and peace for all. The country I will always call home—the greatest place on earth.”
