I'm proud to be an American

As next Tuesday approaches I hope in my heart that if you have not voted already that you will make sure you take the time to exercise your legal right to cast your ballot for those of your choice that are running for office in your local and state and national elections. In Arizona I made the decision to cast an early ballot through the mail in ballot process. We had many propositions on our ballot this year and they were confusing and not always easy to understand. I studied the issues and read about those running for office in my district and state and made what I thought was an informed decision on my part. This election has the entire U S standing up and declaring their opinion and views on the many issues at hand. Each of us must decide for ourselves what our hearts tell us to do in this most important election.

The words to Lee Greenwood's song "God Bless the USA" say it all for me:

If tomorrow all my things were gone, I'd worked for all my life.

And I had to start again, just my children and my wife.

I'd thank my lucky stars, to be livin here today.

Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away.

And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.

And I won't forget the ones who died, who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today.

Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee.

Across the plains of Texas, From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston, and New York to L.A.

Well there's pride in every American heart,and its time we stand and say.

And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today.

Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.

And I'm proud to be and American,where at least I know I'm free.

And I won't forget the ones who died,who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,next to you and defend her still today.

Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,God bless the USA

In every community, there is work to be done.

In every nation, there are wounds to heal.

In every heart, there is the power to do it.
