Your deep...Your writing is clear, strong, and true. Your deep patriotism, born of history, is very like my own. "My native country, thee,/Land of the noble free,/Thy name I love...." There's still something noble, majestic, and graceful about America, despite all the turmoil and uncertainty. That you still celebrated is proof that she will overcome - she has before. Furthermore - I adore Peter, Paul and Mary! Grew up listening to my parents' album In the Wind. Keep fighting the good fight and grace to you and yours - inspiring, powerful post.Fran Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295033583781089018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489583182385276767.post-45463455740825941372017-07-04T11:20:55.829-06:002017-07-04T11:20:55.829-06:00I, too, hate the way I feel, but I'm so tired ...I, too, hate the way I feel, but I'm so tired of meaningless gestures from the masses who know little to nothing about American history and the Constitution, that I feel guilty--as though I'm part of their clan--by joining the "Happy 4th of July" chorus.

As muc...I can so relate to your post today, Glenda. As much as I love our country, lately anything with red, white, and blue turns my stomach. I hate that I feel this way, but I guess it's to be expected under the current administration.<br /><br />4th of July is also our wedding anniversary--30th this year! That is something to celebrate : )<br /><br />Thanks for this post. As always, your words capture so much of what I'm feeling these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
