I beleive in America by: W.A. Ward
I believe in America. I believe it became great because of its faith in God. Its hope for independence, and its love for freedom. I am grateful for Americas glorious past. I am awed by its unbeliev- able present; I am confident of its limit- less future. I am not ashamed to take off my hat. And to stand at attention when old glory passes by. I do not apologize for the lump in my throat when I repeat the Pledge of Allegience. I am not embarrassed by the tears in my eyes when I hear, " The Star Spangled Banner." Like millions of Americans, I want a free choice, not a free hand out. I prefer an oppurtunity to prove my abilities on the job, rather than, a license to demonstrate my frustrations on the street. I am an old fashioned American, with a new found deter- mination, to do my part to make Democracy work. I think this is our next generations belief.
