We are incredibly lucky to live in the United States and the majority of the people in this country take everything for granted and think something is always "due" to them. I got to see the majority of the world while I was in the Navy for 6 years and it is real eye opener to see in person how a lot of people in this world are living day to day.
God Bless America!!

Yes, we are very fortunate!! And this is just from our perspective at this
particular point in time. When you take into account the history of the
world and Mans time one it, we are certainly blessed to be part of a very
small percentage of mankind to experience the kind of lifestyle that most
could have only dreamed about, assuming they could even have imagined
it in the first place.
