How To Be An American

               Be Yourself

               Tell the Truth

               Be Courageous If Necessary

               Do Not Hurt Others

               Pursue Those Goals Most Dear To Your Heart

               Honor Your Family and Friends

               Raise Your Children To Do Right and Be Good Persons

               Love God if you care to or don’t.  The decision is individual.

               Use the government as a tool.  Do not abuse it. Keep an eye on it.

               Do not be afraid.   Thucydides, Ancient Greek philosopher and poet wrote,  “The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.”

               Be charitable and caring of your neighbors.

               Work hard.

               Learn things.      

 

               I can’t tell you anymore than these things.  I hope it is enough but I know there is so much more.  It is encompassed in the lives of our citizens – in all of us Americans – you and I included.

               You are the one who decides how to be an American.

               You are an American.

Strangers Among You

  Strangers Among You   By Alfred Brock   Introduction   This book talks about why migrants and immigrants are risking their lives to cross the border into the United States and become Americans.  It is a plain, simple telling of the Martinez family as they make their way from the countryside of Costa Rica to Detroit, Michigan.                 It is built, of course, upon the American dream and the American that exists in the United States of America.   More than that, however, it details the very real reasons people have for leaving their country to go to the United States.  Not enough people are aware that these people are leaving life and death situations.   They are coming from places that cannot be gone back to without a great deal of work and fixing.               ...
