Patriotism

So what is your definition of patriotism?  Yesterday, I experienced one  definition.  Yesterday, we enjoyed a nice, free dinner at the Golden Corral.  It was Military Appreciation Monday, a tradition of the Golden Corral for the last eleven years.  While there, we met a very nice woman who works there.  She is probably one the most patriotic people I have ever met.  Born in Iran, she came to the United States after many threats to her life due to her Christian faith in a Muslim nation.  Six years ago, she became a legal citizen of America!  What a pleasure and a privilege to meet her!  I pray that those of us who were born here will have the same feelings of love and appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy!
