 Before anything, we are one thing. Born to be Americans. Proud to be Americans. Our United States are our United Fates. Know your Constitution. Unity. It's an American thing. From AmericanThing.org. I was in the hospital with my son for 18 months. When he got injured, I knew I had to be strong. I just remember rushing into his room and giving him a big hug and letting him know I was there.
