I like this quote from one of my essays.

Quang Nguyen who escaped from Vietnam and founded Caddis Branding Agency said before a veteran's group, “In 1982, I stood with a thousand new immigrants, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and listening to the National Anthem for the first time as an American. To this day, I can't remember anything sweeter and more patriotic than that moment in my life…..You see, America is not just a place on the map, it isn't just a physical location. It is an ideal, a concept. And if you are an American, you must understand the concept, you must accept this concept, and most importantly, you have to fight and defend this concept. This is about Freedom and not free stuff. And that is why I am standing up here.”

Bravo! to Quang Nguyen, who is more of an American than a whole lot of bipeds who were born here.
