HAVE YOU EVER VISITED THE USA? IT IS A LARGE COUNTRY THAT VARIES FROM THE DRY DESERTS OF ARIZONA TO THE HIGH MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO, FROM THE SANDY BEACHES OF CALIFORNIA TO THE BIG CITIES OF NEW YORK AND CHICAGO AND FROM TROPICAL FLORIDA IN THE SOUTH TO FREEZING ALASKA IN THE NORTH.

what does it mean to be american?

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

                                              - Emma Lazarus (1849-887)
"I leave you, hoping that the lamp of liberty will burn in your bosoms until there shall no longer be a doubt that all men are created free and equal."
                                        - Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood."
                              - Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)

"For I can assure you that we love our country, not for what it was, though it has always been great -- not for what it is, though of this we are deeply proud -- but for what it someday can, and, through the efforts of us all, someday will be." 

"Ask not what your country can do for you...ask what you can do for your country."

                                         - John F. Kennedy (1917-1963)
“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”  
                                  - George Washington (1732-1799)
"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
                                                   - Barack Obama (1961-)
