Thankful 2011: She was born in the U.S.A

Note from Dan: This is the first of 21 pages of thanks from people whose thankfulness didn’t make the print edition of the newspaper because of space considerations. To navigate these pages, simply read the entry then click on the word Next down at the end.

I was born in the USA. I can practice a faith and vote in elections.

I experience the best medical care, have access to educational and transportation systems, and reside in a safe and beautiful environment, with clean air and water.

I enjoy a home with indoor heating and plumbing, refrigeration for the healthy foods I eat and electricity for the best technology available.

The police and military personnel protect me from harm. My dear family, special friends and hospitable neighbors complete my world.

God Bless America.

    Spot On, Dottie! I’ve thanked God SO many times for allowing me to have been born here in the USA. So many of US received that blessing. Too many concentrate on what they perceive to be bad about being a citizen here rather than the positives which you mentioned.

    Amen Dottie

About this blog

    Metro Columnist Dan Casey knows a little bit about a lot of things but not a heck of a lot about most things. That doesn't keep him from writing about them, however. So keep him honest!

    He welcomes your rants, raves and considered opinions, so long as the language is civil (i.e. no four-letter words). He'll read all your posts and may or may not respond.
