AMERICA

"Anything obtained cheaply, is esteemed lightly. That which is achieved at great cost, is greatly valued" Thomas Paine (adapted quote). America is an "idea" created by those that were rejected or persecuted around the world. It may have taken us a few hundred years to work out the kinks, but let's never forget those founding values. We give freely, we've shed our blood all over the world, and have only asked for land to bury our dead. Let's all value '' sacrifice, hard work, honesty and charity". And, let's never forget the important values that were born out of our unique American culture- Freedom of Speech, Religion, Private Property rights, and the Right to bear Arms.
