Thank you for the blessing! Would that more Americans felt the same.

I would love for you to write more about your story one day!

Well to make a very long and complicated story, well short and simple. I served in the Middle East with many Americans, direct combat role.

At a point, doing "something", I got a very dirty knife to the gut, it is a particular type of curing a knife into all kinds of "dirty" to inflict a very slow and painful death. The Americans didn't need to even help me, let alone save me.

They did. Traeted me. Saved my life. I left that life after and went to sit on a desk. After years sitting a desk I left because I could and a pandemic was about to hit the planet.

Thanks =). And this knife wound was the reason I started learning a lot of what I know now and share and I am adamant it works. Lots of testing on myself to fix myself =D

Well, I'm very glad to hear that there are still those who can look beyond our crazy "leaders" and see the heart of the people. They are so embarrassing! My humble opinion is that those characteristics you mention came from our founding on Judeo/Christian principles, which were passed down successfully.... until these later decades when the assault on values began. We pray we are not too late in waking up our fellow Americans who are slumbering, so that we may once again fight for freedoms and prevail. "Give me liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry, founder

I stand for the original American values, the Founding Fathers writing should be obligatory reading for every person living in this planet (not the first time I say this too !).

It takes a small percentage of a population to enact effective change, be it cultural, political or otherwise. In that regard, there will always be hope.

Happy Independence Day, JP. As an American, I also appreciate all you’ve done to educate us with all you know.

I’m hopeful for America in the long term because of just what you shared. The true Americans have the values and character you mention. I run across them regularly, and though we may be down and getting darker, I believe we can turn things around… after the hell that is the current near term future for all of us.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇧🇷🇧🇷

I share your perspective, I am hopeful for America in the long- term and America becoming once again a beacon of light for the rest of the world.

If there is one thing Americans are among the greastest is enduring and thriving in hardships =)

Bless you, Moriarty. I hope someday *very* soon that we will celebrate Independence Day v2.0 here in 'Merica at the same time that the rest of the world will celebrate their Independence Day v1.0. That will be glorious!

Have a great 4th and a great weekend with your friends. :-)

As an American who loves her fellow Americans but hates her government currently I couldn’t agree more. What makes America great are her people!

Thank you for your heartfelt words JP. From our interactions and observing you I think you exhibit that same spirit. One of the reasons I’ve been reading you since 2021 is because of your heart for your readers. We aren’t even close to the same league and I struggle to understand your output but you’ve helped me help many family members and myself health wise. I can’t thank you enough!

I hope your "Glorious Fourth" was joyful.

But I must ask: "Did they make you drink American beer?"
