I Wasn’t Born in America But…

I wasn’t born in the USA but I do love Bruce Springsteen.

I wasn’t born in America but I was raised an American.

I wasn’t born in America, but my sons are first generation American.

I wasn’t born in America but I proudly have an American passport.

I wasn’t born in America but I vote in every election big small since my citizenship grants me that right, privilege, and duty.

I wasn’t born in America, but that doesn’t make me less of a citizen.

I wasn’t born in America, but I am American girl.

I wasn’t born in America, but I believe in the fundamental tenets of liberty and justice for ALL.

Happy Independence Day, America!
