Pardon the length. This is an update and take-off of an essay I wrote in the year 2000. It is in response to a request by Freeper Shenandoah, who wrote a wonderful essay last week entitled, As an American, I believe ...

He asked that I pen a few words of my own and this is my response.

Best Fregards to all, and God's richest blessings on you each and may they continue on our Republic as long as we remain worthy of them.

Thanks for the ping. And for pointing up the difference between a real American and someone that just points to their location on a map.

Like I said to Cindy ... just sharing my own beliefs and gratitude as respects this nation and our heritage .. and my own heritage specifically.

Whatever praise comes from that must go to God above, my parents and my wife and kids. They have taught me 99% of whatever it is I know.

God bless and FRegards

Nice sentiments Jeff, especially with the 1st anniversity of 9-11 coming up.

Between this and the WTC-Rise and Fall special on the History channel, I have tears in my eyes.

AMEN and good on ya' FRiend! Let FReedom ring far and wide!

Thanks for the ping Sweetie. Very inspiring. Have you noticed how there's a heaviness about as the 11th approaches? I'm sure there will be a lot tears and a lot of reflection in the coming days. We will never be quite the same. Thankfully, "greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world."

Thanks,
