I'm proud to be an American...

....where at least I know I'm free.

Today is April 15th. Tax day.

This is the single greatest day of the year to remember how incredibly fortunate and blessed we are to be Americans.

We live in the greatest nation on Earth. We have bountiful supplies of resources. We have the best system of government that's been ever been conceived.

And today...we get to write a check to fund our government. We have the priviledge of participating in paying for our military who defend our freedoms. We get to pay for our interstate freeway system. To maintain our infrastructure. We have the great opportunity to give some of our fellow citizens a hand up through hard times.

We pay today to send our young people to school and keep our water and air clean. We maintain our amazing National Parks as well.

I love this day. I'm so honored to live in this country. I am amazed at the opportunities provided to me and to my children through this providence.

I write my check with pride and a grateful heart.
