Today we celebrate the United States of America, the land of opportunity. A nation whose principles continue to attract scores of people from around the world.

America isn’t perfect, but no country is. No nation could stand up to the standard of perfection America has been held to in recent years.

Yet, America’s greatness is not the result of a flawless past, but in a set of ideals that make space for change so we don’t repeat past mistakes.

I am proud to be an American.

May God bless America!
