I'm thankful for my freedom
I'm thankful for the men who had foresight enough to write the Constitution and for the men and women since then who have fought to protect it, some of them paying for my freedom with their lives. I'm thankful that I can worship my God publicly and not fear being put in jail or killed for what I believe. I'm thankful, for all the problems our country has, that it is still a democracy and we still have a say in who leads in our country and what laws are passed.
And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
--"Proud to be an American", Lee Greenwood
