What do love about the USA?

As we approach the 4th of July, it struck me how many things that I love about this country. I was wondering how many things others love. How about you?

I have way to many things to list, but overall our Freedom, The dedication of our Service Members to go out and engage the enemy no matter what the cost may be. I believe that's a good start!

Al;l of the Freedoms that are layed out in the Constitution. No other Nation or country comes close. I love the fact I have my family, my military family, and my friends and we all tend to stay close. We may not agree on everything, but we have each others' backs when the need arises.

God Bless each of you and much love and respect for you all.

I love that with hard work, integrity, and perseverance, anything is possible. It truly is the land of opportunity.

One of the things us Mil types would notice but not the general population is that for the most part you don't have to look over your shoulder all the time. That's the freedom from fear piece that we've seen little of in many other countries. Unfortunately there are growing pockets especially in depressed cities that have imposed a malignant cruelty on our youth.

I love how, if I want, I can get into my car and travel anywhere within the lower 48. I love the fact that if I am unhappy with politicians, I can vote to have them removed (even though it rarely works that way). I love the fact that I have been deemed worthy to wear the uniform of our Armed Forces.

Hi, Colonel Romanick.

I’m a member of the greatest military in the world, not because of the tanks or planes, but because each of my brothers and sisters honor their sworn oath. And they do so not for glory, but in support of our Constitution. There is no higher sacrifice.

You might hate me for this BUT I love that in our country we can have the right to burn the US flag, Call our presidents every name in the book and be the most God awful person in the world AND still there will be a person who will fight and die for them to continue to freely have those rights. Ironic and beautiful at the same time!
