I am so deeply proud and surprised at the heart and fiber shown by my fellow Americans. My country is honoring our heritage by our pulling together and rolling up our sleeves for each other. Now we are feeding a country that we are at war with. The terrorists are making fools of themselves trying to explain away our compassion. They are fighting a losing battle trying to portray us as evil Christians and Jews attempting to do away with Moslems. They rely on the ignorance of people to spread their insane viewpoints.
We have made mistakes. We have not allieviated the suffering of the rest of the world enough, I'm sure. But we have done a great deal, more than any other country, I believe. We are seldom given credit for our help, rather hatred is retuned to us. It's been like this since I was a boy, I'm 52. Yet we keep on giving and helping because it defines who we are.
We are hated because we have so much. But I rhink we have so much because we give so much. It's the law of reciprocity. We need not be ashamed for our blessings.
I am proud and happy to share this nation with you, my fellow Americans.
