This weekend is a special one: Memorial Day. This is the day to remember all of the men and women who have died in the service of our country. They gave everything to allow us to enjoy our freedom. I am an immigrant to this country. I am thankful to be a citizen of this country. For this Friday Filosophy #2016-21, I want to focus on this idea of country.
May Heaven be propitious, and smile on the cause of my country.
