To America

I've started reading Ambrose's Band of Brothers, the mini-series of which I own on DVD and love above nearly all other films I've seen. In this time of political, military, and economic turmoil, reading Ambrose's well-justified cheerleading of American greatness is a much needed shot in the arm. I could spend countless hours discussing all the things wrong with our country and its leaders. Yet I also believe very strongly that this is the greatest nation the world has ever seen, something that can get lost in constant frustration at modern difficulties. Ambrose is helping me to remember why I believe in America.
