Is now the best time to be alive? We have a lot to be thankful for. Freedom is one of them. Think about all of the people that have given there lives for the Freedom of the people of the United States. What were they thinking when they joined the military? They paid the ultimate sacrifice. And still are. Thank you to all of them. That is why we have some of the things that we have. Our country is not perfect, there are some flaws. But, our flag still flies proudly were ever it is. On our ships, our bases, our places of worship and our places of work, and our homes. It reminds us who we are and where we have been and where we are going. I am proud to be an American and always will be.
