We did many other things on our visit, and Ed and I have been back to D.C. since, but that 4th of July will always be very special. I am proud of my country, and can’t help but get emotional when I hear “God Bless America” or the National Anthem. Things aren’t perfect, but we have been a very blessed country with a rich history. When things aren’t going well, Americans roll up their sleeves and try to make it better.
