It’s because of Patriots, like you, who are willing to give their life for their neighbor. 911 was a wonderful thing to witness. Not because of all the destruction and sadness but because of how patriots came togather and unified. At 19 years old I witnessed the resilience of the American people and I can say, I miss that. I would hate for something of that magnitude to have to occur to wake people up, but if that’s what it will take, at least America can be great again. United we stand Divided we fall from sea to shining sea, where we go one We go ALL! The Gr8🎃

I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there. I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her fertile fields and boundless forests, and it was not there. I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there. I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her public school system and her institutions of learning, and it was not there. I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution, and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.
