Our country is in a financial mess, that’s for sure and our standings in the world have been a bit tainted with the mess in Iraq but I’m still proud to be American. I was born here but of course my ancestors came from other countries. They came here looking for the American dream and found it. Living in New Orleans through the mess of hurricane Katrina still hasn’t shaken my love of America. It might have taken some time to bring New Orleans back but it’s back and proud as ever.
I proudly display my American flag outside of my establishment every day. I also have one displayed inside too. Americans have been known for their ‘grit’ if you will ever since the first settlers landed many years ago. We fought to have a life and we’re still fighting to have that. The one thing that sets us apart is the fact that we do welcome anyone to this country to try and find their American dream. It’s still alive but not as easy to find now but just give us a little more time and we’ll be back stronger than ever. Just wait and see. New Orleans did it and the rest of the country will too.
