"... when yer skies were always blue, the summer never ended, and life was an adventure..."
That about describes my life. I have been a lucky man.
My life has ... had it’s moments of mirth and misery. And that IS life, I suppose.
But at the end of each day, I’m here in America... and I’m an American... and because of that, ANYTHING is possible. And I’ll tell you this, my friend - I thank whatever God there is for the blessing of being born here, born to parents that loved me and did the best they could with whatever was handed to them, good or bad...and gave me a chance at a better life than they had.
There is no better place... and it is worth fighting and dying for.
