How often we fail to realize our good fortune in living in a country where happiness is more than a lack of tragedy.

Where liberty dwells, there is my country.

It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

My patriotic heart beats red, white, and blue.
