On Canadian Thanksgiving Day, Michael Moore tweeted, "This is the day when Canadians give thanks that they aren't US".

My knee-jerk reaction was "I give thanks that I'm not him."

However, after reflecting I asked myself, "Am I still thankful that I'm an American?" After all, it doesn't mean the same thing any more. And this contentious election year has shaken my faith in our ability to reclaim our heritage.

I don't know about you, I thank God everyday for my life, my wife and children, and that I'm an American. Regardless of the erosion of our liberty by the Progressive Movement and their fascination with intellectualism, I remain convinced that there are still enough of us remaining who can once again rise up and say "We are the people and We tell the government what it can do, not the other way around"

I am absolutely thankful. The Army has afforded me, among many many things, the opportunity to see how fortunate I am by sheer chance of birth.

One of the most common things heard among Americans serving in Vietnam was "I wish my [mother/sister/girlfriend/wife] could see this" when a young GI witnessed how the Vietnamese peasants lived. No photo in National Geographic magazine of naked natives in far-away lands prepared them for the utter want and privation they found outside America.
