Happy 4th of July - as many of us either begin vacations, have a barbecue or watch the fireworks.
I am always proud to be an American - to live in a country where people can succeed and be successful no matter what their gender, race or ethnic background. I am not saying that it is easy - it isn't; but, you are not held back by the politics of a country.
I am saddened to see how immigration is viewed by many Americans today - how can you have forgotten that unless you are a Native American we are all immigrants and came to this country in various ways and for a variety of reasons.
We should continue to be proud to be Americans, that we can welcome others into our country and ensure that they can experience a safe life, a better life and can become active, productive individuals in our society.
