What I like in the USA is that "I am one" an American who loves to see the American flag wave; as if to say "we are united" no matter how far or near we are united! Mountains and seas may divide us but in Our hearts we know...when things get tough we come shoulder to shoulder to unite. I find it interesting that there are some "unhappy Americans" who disgrace our country and nation by "burning our flag";perhaps they've lost what a true Americn means... . Americanism comes from the "heart" and appreciating the gifts God has blessed us with.And we can share and give this "gift" to anyone. We truly are a Blessed Nation. Dispite the rumors that may surround us. Why else would those from other nations desire to risk their lives to get here. What is it that America has that so many desire?? Beauty, (yes), wealth(yes), nice people (yes). But really its whats inside each of us that God has given which we give to eachother; whoever that other is. May we as a nation continue to unite with those within our nation and extend a reaching hand to those who need help, or who simply need a hug.
I have has some experience away from the US and I really liked it. I went to Poland. Yes it was very different; however,I found they like us desired a better life. No matter what nation one travels they will see we are "very much a like" in this fact...we are in the in the image of God needing and seeking Love; and to be loved.I believe this is part of the desire for so many people to get to America. They see we are a Loving country; dispite those who have forgotten love and shown otherwise. Lastly, I love America because we can and do express ourselves with creative talents and arts through so many venues; food,entertainment, government, socially, religiously, eironmentally, etc. You name it we got it; or at least can figure out how to get it. We are and I am so "Proud" to be an American. JG.
