A birthday testimonial for the U S of A….
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In honor of Independence Day, let’s set aside a holiday thread to talk about all the things we love about this country.
What’s the best thing we got going for us?
Our music — jazz, blues, country, gospel, bluegrass and rock ‘n’ roll? Good stuff. The U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights? Wouldn’t be America without them.
Barbecue and corn bread? Spacious skies, amber waves of grain and purple mountains’ majesty? Our wise, courageous leaders?
Seriously. Consider it a birthday testimonial — what do you love most about the United States of America?
