Things I'm proud of about the US

As it's July 4th, I thought I'd write about the things that make me happiest about the US:

• I'm happy that my family is here. 
• I'm happy that there are fireworks on the 4th of July, just because they're fun.
• I'm happy that there are people here that stand up against authority. (I realize this isn't a unique quality of the US but I'm still glad it happens here.)
• I'm happy that people here are free to believe what they want to believe. 
• It makes me happy that there are so many cultures and languages here.

I wish everyone who celebrates it, a very happy 4th of July
