I hope that there are more jounalists in Europe that feel the same way. (And in America too!)

A good read, and more proof that Britain, and her people, are with us.

Cool post - thanks.

you would probably all sell your granny for cash your desire for entrepreneurship is so strong, and your television is full of ads.

This Black guy is funny. While praising America, he is not averse to poking a little fun at us. But he should remember that it was Napoleon who originally called the British a nation of shopkeepers.

This is a beautiful gesture and this man will never know how much it's appreciated.

Whether he realizes it or not, this man has just become part of history. His beautiful letter will be read by millions of Americans who will read this with tears in their eyes and it will be brought out frequently to remind people of the greatness and steadiness of the Brits.

A very nice article, I'm going to send him a 'thankyou email'!

[Pokey78]

He sent the same editorial to the Charleston (WV) Daily Mail:

[Damagro]

Without the steadfastnest of the British in WWII, there would have been no base to launch an attack on the mainland. Yes we did come in through Sicily and the Italian mainland , but England allowed us France. We will always be united because no matter how pale they are , the Brits have guts

[Porterville]

I emailed and thanked him. Maybe this is something we can do with all the European's who stand with us. Does anyone have a list of the good Europeans email addresses??

Bumped as a bookmark reminder to snail mail a thank you letter.

[Cultural Jihad]

An excellent letter. Thanks for posting it.

[SunTzuWu]

Wow...This couldn't have come at a better time. I was begining to think we were standing alone. Thank You Mr. Black and God bless you.

[Mo1]

Thank You James Black!

Great Post!

[The Wizard]

this was my email to Mr. Black

Most Esteemed Sir,

Many fail to realize that in an America like we live in, we see accomplishments that rival centuries happening every year. The will and imagination of free men knows no bounds, and has allowed us to do many things. Americans expect to lead the pack, carry the burden, find the way; it's our heritage.

And yet, in many ways, America is a humble nation that always tries to see the good in others, and prides itself in giving others the benefit of the doubt.

We were raised on the beliefs of people like Dave Crockett, whose creed was, "be sure you're right, then go ahead": we have a country of people who feel that way, and thusly we also have an incredible "bull in a china shop" ability to be a bit clumsy in our attempts at finesse.

But we are always there, we never run, we can be depended on whenever the blackest events call on men to stand together. We fear no evil, or at least we face all comers, scared or not.

We help the world more than any single nation on earth.

We donate more money and goods than anyone else, because we can, and we look down on no one for doing less. We accept that when you have it, you do what you can for those who don't.

We are constantly attacked by those we help, abused in their press and society, and yet we continue to help, because it is the American way.

And all we ever hope for, when it's all said and done, is a letter like yours.

God's blessings on you for your kind words.

Wiz

Many thanks to this good man. The Brits have always been worthy friends, unlike the ingrate French.

I, James Black, a man whose grandfather fought in both World Wars, and had the good humor to suggest that the Americans were late for both events, but the sense to point out they ensured victory when they finally did show up, make my first vow.

We didn't save Britain. We helped Britain save herself. But the appreciation is appreciated.
