Visited here out of curiousity. Beautiful post. I swear I heard our anthem playing in the background as I read it. :) Thank you!  It’s always very encouraging to hear that the U.S. is appreciated by someone outside of its borders. We’ve heard it too little within our own borders for far too long. I’m a newbie here, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been paying attention to what’s going on in my country.  Like many, I’ve just finally found my voice (to the shock and horror of my many liberal family members). To all the international patriots, Thank You! WWG1WGA!
