Do I Love America?

RTB folks: 

As we start our 250th year of independence, we are inundated by news of what’s at risk, what’s not working, and what to gripe about when it comes to the state of our republic. However, July 4 presents an opportunity to reflect on what we love about it. I ran across this essay in my feed from Tangle—an online news source I value. Here’s the essay entitled, “Do I Love America?”…….It made me think about the multiple specific things about my country that I treasure; at the top of my list are national parks, public libraries, and root beer floats. What do you love? Leave it in the comments!
