My mother fled Cuba and found the freedom too many Americans now forget

I've always believed that gratitude is the most underrated of all human traits, and ingratitude is among the ugliest. A person who cannot recognize what they've been given, who cannot feel the weight of unearned blessing, has a hole in their soul that no amount of achievement can fill. It’s true of people and nations.

America, I am sorry that some in this country do not love you. Sad that a record low number of young Americans say they are proud.

This breaks my heart, not because dissent is wrong...
