As most of the rest of you who read this, I am sure that today I will spend time recalling the tragic events that happened eleven years ago today.
As I reflect on that, I realize how grateful that I am to have been born in this great country. As Warren Buffet puts it, to have been born in America is like winning the ovarian lottery. The opportunities we have in this country are endless. It is our choice whether we will focus on all of the negatives that our news media tries to portray or whether we will focus on the wonderful opportunities that our freedom brings.
The other day I got a chance to visit with a former foreign exchange student from Germany. He just finished his university studies in Germany and came back to the United States to visit. He made a comment that reminded me of how great our country really is. He said something to the effect that both him and another former foreign exchange student from Germany both take every chance they can to come back to America. I came away from the conversation with the feeling that as bad as things may seem to us here, people from all over the world would love to have our problems.
If you get a chance today, say thank you to a veteran, police officer, fire fighter, or an emergency worker who have fought or who fight daily to keep our country safe and free.
