I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free....
And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me...
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today....
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land.....
God Bless the U.S.A.....


It's been an entire year since the World Trade Center tragedy. I still remember everything so vividly from that day. The confusion, the fear. Living in NYC, I was very frightened. I didn't know what would happen next, if there was anything more coming...I just felt terrible.

I knew someone who died in the WTC....my friend's mom...may she rest in peace. Today brought memories back, saddening me.

One thing is angering me a bit though. People are complaining and saying "the U.S sucks" "I hate this country" "get the hell over it". Listen. If you don't like the country, GET OUT. Or stop complaining and actually DO SOMETHING. Stop bitching and whining, no one wants to hear it.

I'm glad I live in America. This country gives me so many opportunities. I have a sense of freedom, a great gift that not too many other countries have. I can say "Bush is a fuggin moron" and not get arrested or anything. If you insult a leader in some other countries, that's basically saying "kill me".

Too many people make generalizations. "Oh I got in trouble with my teachers for saying something so I HAVE NO FREEDOM! AMERICA IS TEH SUX0R!!!!11111" I can't count how many times I've seen this in LJ posts. I'm tempted to take a few people off my friends list for that reason. But anyway.

I've always been proud to be an American.

God bless America.
