Sometimes I don't think we realize how lucky we are to live in a country that grants us such freedom. We take for granted our freedom of speech and our freedom to worship as we wish. We have the right to disagree with our leaders and to poke fun if we wish.
The recent election and ensuing violence in Iran should teach us that as Americans, we have never known, at least not in my lifetime, the violence that can happen when a government changes hands. We go to that little voting booth - at least some of us do- exercise our right to vote and then watch and see what happens. We are extremely lucky to live in a democracy that truly works.
As a special birthday wish, I want to include a Tribute to America from my daughter who sang our National Anthem at Hickory Motor Speedway.
