America!



When you think about Memorial Day this weekend, try to have some context as to why it matters.  What makes America so special, that we celebrate the people that fought and died on its behalf?  

As tough as it is now, this is still a place where social mobility can happen, where people can persevere and overcome the obstacles in their life.  Maybe not everybody can be millionaires, but we are ordained by our founding fathers to pursue happiness.  In America, we at least have the best chance to try.

As an example of this, and for the context I spoke of earlier, please read about Chelsea Fearce below.
