Today our country turns 250 years old. I should be celebrating, but I’ve lost the joy.

I’m the proud wife of a Vietnam veteran.
The proud daughter of a World War II veteran.
The proud great granddaughter of a Civil War veteran.
The proud 4th great granddaughter of a Revolutionary War veteran.
I’m proud of their service, their sacrifice and their dedication to the freedoms we hold dear … but I’m not proud of what the country they fought for has become today.
And I doubt they would be either.

That being said, I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday filled with whatever brings you joy.

River's world..... 
I am the proud son of a man who fought in WWII and grandparents who wouldn’t be allowed to immigrate to this country today as they did in 1900. We can do better, and I am confident that we will.
