Last night Mrs. Thorne and I attended the annual Marine Corps League Ball (although I am not a Marine). I felt the way you are feeling now being in a room filled with men and women who know such a great love of country that they had in fact risked their lives to protect it. The entire event made me proud to be a citizen of a nation that produces such people.
Thank you. There is SO much here worth protecting. I recently finished reading “American on Purpose” by Craig Ferguson...and while he captures some of America, he doesn’t capture all of it.
I have done a lot of thinking recently. I LOVED living in Europe, but there is something so profound about coming home after that...
America is something BEYOND...it is a dream. It’s worth protecting.
