An important point you make very well is that even though the US isn't perfect, we're probably the best there is. You also point out that we have been and still are much more "inclusive" than the rest of the world. Thanks for a great essay!

Appreciate your feedback. Japanese Americans servicemen set up an good example for all of us about how to respond to injustice with patriotism and valor.

I loved what you said in this article Helen Raleigh, it really stirred the emotions in me, of patriotism, love of our great country, total respect and admiration for all the men and women who so selflessly made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of all Americans. God bless you Helen for all you do. 🙏🏼 👏🏼 🫡🇺🇸❣️

Sincerely,

Gary Schelvan
