It is with deep appreciation that I offer my heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS to all those involved in the planning and execution of the mission that involved the killing of hated terrorist leader, Osama Bin Laden. As one of my favorites, Craig Ferguson, host of the CBS Late, Late Show, says at the beginning of his monologue each night, “It’s a great day for America.” Ten long years and so many dead, we can now close an ugly chapter in our history. I’m proud to be an American!
God Bless the U.S.A.

If tomorrow all the things were gone    
I'd worked for all my life,     
And I had to start again     
with just my children and my wife,     
I'd thank my lucky stars     
to be living here today,     
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom     
and they can't take that away. 
I'm proud to be an American    
where at least I know I'm free,     
And I won't forget the men who died     
who gave that right to me,     
And I gladly stand up next to you     
and defend her still today,     
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land     
God Bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota    
to the hills of Tennessee,     
Across the plains of Texas     
from sea to shining sea.     
From Detroit down to Houston     
and New York to L.A.,     
There's pride in every American heart     
and it's time we stand and say:
I'm proud to be an American    
where at least I know I'm free,     
And I won't forget the men who died     
who gave that right to me,     
And I gladly stand up next to you     
and defend her still today,     
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land     
God Bless the U.S.A.
‘Til next time……
