Grateful

Not sure where to post this;

I'm grateful for:
The Constitution.
My current President.
Being a boomer (tail end) and knowing what freedom is.
Being a boomer and having my dad (RIP) teach me to shoot my first rifle (Daisy CO2) and pistol (Colt 32acp) in the backyard of his Phoenix home.
Being an American who has lived and worked overseas and has witnessed gun restrictive countries but here I can buy as much ammo and weapons as my wallet allows.

I could go on but would hope that we give politics and reality a break as we celebrate one of two uniquely American Holidays.

Christmas lights are blinking as a snow storm goes through my neck of the desert, tomorrow my GF and I will feast on Turkey, Cranberry sauce, candied carrots and Blueberry pie. It's my first home cooked Thanksgiving meal in over two decades and it's cooked by a woman who likes being a woman and knows how to cook and has never been anything other than understanding when I sheepishly tell her I brought home another toy.

For all of the above, and much more, I am a grateful American.

Thank you God, for my fellow Americans, whatever their race, color, religion, creed, beliefs, sexual preferences, as long as they place God, family and country at the top of their priorities.

True story; my dad's life was saved in Korea by a fellow Black Soldier of whom he forgot his name but had a unique piece of Turquoise and Silver made for him. He never found that man or if he even survived the war but I never forgot the emotion my dad conveyed. That's what America is, that's what Americans are. My own life has been saved many times over by my Muslim compadres in the great sandbox and true Americans come in many forms.

Americans stands for all that is right even when our politicians don't.

God bless America.
