Ten Reasons I Love the USA

This is my list of
"10 Reasons I Love the United States of America"
(in no particular order and certainly not all-inclusive):

1. The Flag: Symbolizes to me our Founding Fathers. They had the vision and the courage to put their ideals into words and found the Greatest Nation in the history of mankind.
2. The Blue Star Service Banner: Symbol of service since 1917. We proudly fly one today.
3. Colt M1911 (and variants): Greatest handgun ever made.
4. US Rifle, Cal .30, M1: Nuff said.
5. AR-15 Rifle (and variants): Duh...
6. Full-size, American Pickup Trucks: I can think of few things in everyday life that symbolize America more.
7. Kentucky Bourbon: Buffalo Trace or Bulleit preferred.
8. The United States Fighting Man/Woman: Continuing a tradition of sacrifice born over 235 years ago. Thank God we still have those willing to serve and protect us.
9. Harley-Davidson Motorcycles: Another uniquely American tradition.
10. Smith & Wesson Revolvers: The older ones...preferably from the 50s and 60s. Another fine example of American craftsmanship and ingenuity at it's finest.

All of these things represent to me some of the finer reasons to be proud of our country. I have more. These just came to me faster than I could type them.

Independence Day is my favorite holiday with Thanksgiving running a very close second.

Best to all of you.

Sorry so late in posting this, but this is very appropriate to the OP and it's something I particularly love:

John Wayne: America, Why I love Her!


'Bout sums it up for me. I sure do miss the Duke. We could certainly use him around these days.

All good stuff, I love it.

Agreed
Oh that reminds me, some additions: Airplanes- invented here and we're still the best at it! Beer, not invented in America but perfected by America. Same goes with Hockey, women, and film!
