"I'm Proud To Be An American...

... where at least I know I'm free!" I use to belt this song from the monkey bars on the playground in the 5th grade. Sometimes I'd even get a little choked up at the end. And I still do. For me, the celebrations that take place on the 4th of July can almost give me goosebumps. Not for lack of heat in the summer night's air, or because I'm coming down with a cold, but because of the reverence I have for those brave individuals who have fought to make this country the Land of the Free. Happy Independence Day, America! ... "there ain't no doubt, I love this land God bless the U.S.A."
