Learned to love my country and be proud of her achievements.
We used to pledge allegiance to the US flag every day, and even acknowledged God while doing it.
We were living pretty dangerously. /s

I was living in Montreal, as my Mother had to re establish residency before she applied for US citizenry. I was 5/6 and didn’t speak French. I was put in an English speaking Catholic school where the first row was first grade, the second row, second grade, etc. I learned O Canada while there.
Coming back to the U.S., I was put in the second grade, didn’t know how to sit at my desk with my hands folded,( Winthrop, Mass) and I didn’t know how to salute the flag, or sing the anthem. Miss Wright, my teacher was a witch, and had little patience with me.
Once I went to 3rd grade, all was well, and my teachers were great.
Winthrop is a small town, east of Boston, and on the water. Nice schools.
( I should have used the French swear words my mischievous uncles in Montreal had taught me— on Miss Wright!!)
