THIS IS
AMERICA! This was the mantra of generations after the establishment of
the United States of America. Our history shows that this nation was
built with grit, toughness, a do it yourself and a get it done attitude. Sure,
like any other great or not so great society in history, our nation made
mistakes. We were not and are not perfect.
However, there is no argument that this nation, the one that
history will forever remember, was made great simply because people were proud
to be human. Proud to be children of God. Proud to be Americans.
When the
nation was threatened, the people rose up to the challenge and shouted, This Is
America! And they would not give up or give in to anything but complete
and total victory.
This
attitude was instilled in their children. The children instilled this
attitude within their children. Those whom we called legal immigrants
instilled this attitude into their children and indeed they often admonished
their children for not acting, being more American.
They were
proud and grateful to the new country they now called home. They, too,
stood up and shouted, This Is America when they were challenged by outside
threat. They, too, picked up arms and joined the army and navy and fought
along with natural born citizens. They fought to insure their posterity
had a better life, more opportunity than they did. They did not give up
nor did they give in.
It was an
attitude that spurred fear into our enemies and emboldened all those who wished
to live as Americans lived. America inspired others to rise up against
tyranny within their own nations. When they could not fight, America gave
them grit and purpose to make the often dangerous and deadly journey to this
land of freedom and opportunity.
People of
far off lands created and shared legends about America. “In America, the
streets are paved with gold.” Although our streets were not literally
paved in gold, they were not wrong in stating such. Indeed, our streets
were paved with the gold that is opportunity and freedom. It is a
priceless treasure.
I long to
hear the shouts and cries in the streets, This Is America. I fight and
work tirelessly to get a chorus of voices shouting, This Is America. I
impatiently wait for the flag of our nation to be flown high and proud on every
home, every business. To be worn with pride on every shirt. No
apologies. No wimpery. No weakness. No retreat.
This Is
America! And Americans need to be reminded to act like it.
