I just wanted to wish the USA a very happy birthday....in spite of all her problems today, she's still a wonderful country. John and I have traveled overseas and I am telling you.....there is NO country as good as America (with exceptions of my cousins to the north- Canada, she is close second)....most Americans do not realize how good we have it here....we take America for GRANTED. Our ancestors fought and died for this great nation.....dont let them down by "it's not my problem".........vote in every election ,never show *apathy by not voting............get to know your neighbors.....there are many ways to show appreciation to our ancestors who started this country, without them, USA would have never existed as it is known now, the greatest country in the world. (of course there is always room for improvement). Stand besides her regardless of what happens, good or bad, she is counting on you to keep freedom alive and well. Happy birthday USA... --- Cynthia admin.of Massachusetts Bay Colony mailing list http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/Ma-Bay-Colony
