I am an American.
That's the way most of us put it, just matter of factly.
They are plain words, those four:
You could write them on your thumbnail,
Or sweep them across this bright July sky.
But remember too, that they are more than just words.
They are a way of life.
So whenever you speak them,
Speak them firmly,
Speak them proudly,
Speak them gratefully.
I AM AN AMERICAN.
From all of us at Hammer & Rails, we wish you, your family, and your friends a wonderful, safe, and patriotic 4th of July.
