I would be proud to shake your hand. Getting misty here so I will go.
It is something I struggle with. Part of the time, I am not giving young people enough credit because they don’t have life experience, but act as if they do.
OTOH, I have life experiences, but often act as if I don’t...:)
I guess it cuts both ways.
I know how you feel.
It is hard for me to explain to others, but when I say I am grateful to this country for the opportunities it has given me, it isn’t worthless platitudes uttered by some politican. And it isn’t blind patriotism.
I mean it. It’s real and I, and millions of others can attest to it. We simply don’t value it enough as a nation.
And it is why I get so angry when I see people tearing it down.
