Freedom is never free, and the gaining of Liberty always costs somebody something.

My father's fathers and my mother's mothers were some of those
somebodies, and they all gave their somethings to make our Country what it is.  I know it cost them a lot, but they did what they did for our Country--and the ideal called "Liberty"—without looking back.
I am an American.  I am called to fight in whatever way I can to maintain what my ancestors put in place. I am grateful to them for what they did, and need to be humbled by what I get to do.

So while T-Shirts, baseball caps, and bumper stickers proclaim that their owners are "Proud to Be American", we need to step back and say with equal conviction, "Grateful to Be American".

Count it all joy, my brother, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete,
lacking nothing.
James 1:2-4

There is no such thing as gratitude unexpressed.  If it is unexpressed, it is plain, old-fashioned ingratitude.
