Question of the Day - July 4, 2006

Happy Fourth of July.
Hope you are having a very pleasant day with friends and family.

This is a day that we should all be thinking about the courage and the commitment that the founding fathers of this country showed during the American Revolution. They put their very lives on the line and as a result you and I are living as free citizens in one of the greatest nations in the world today.

Since this is such a very special day for all of us in the US, I am asking you all to post a response to today's question and share it with us.

The Question of the Day for July 4, 2006:

If you had to explain to someone who lived in another country what it means to be an American, what would you say to that person?

Kindest regards,
