Can i just say one thing about The United States of America real quick? (We’re on a flight home from two weeks in Asia and the Middle East). We were driving across the Sri Lankan country side and I saw a guy on a John Deere tractor. I looked it up. John Deere, Largest agricultural equipment manufacturer on Earth. Started in 1837 in Grand Detour, Illinois by a man named John Deere. I’ll keep going. If you get on an airplane anywhere on this planet, odds are it’s a Boeing. William Boeing, 1916, Seattle Washington. Go to any cafe on the globe and you can drink a Coca Cola. Created in Atlanta, Georgia by a man named John pemberton in 1886. Everyone communicates using Whatsapp. Founded in Mountain View, CA in 2009 by two buddies, Brian Acton and Jan Koum. Every vehicle is navigating the Globe using Google Maps. Google, started in the garage of Larry Page and Sergey Brin in Menlo Park California. 1996. Pfizer distributes medicine in every single country on Earth. Charles Pfizer in 1849, Brooklyn, New York. Amazon products are served in every single country on earth. Also started in his garage by a man name Jeff Bezos in Seattle Washington in 1994. Half of the world’s population communicates on Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg, Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2004. Our Qatar Airways flight attendant said she can’t wait to get to Dallas to go to Walmart to get vitamins for her family. Sam Walton, 1962, Rogers, Arkansas. This list could literally go on for days. That should fill every American with tremendous pride for this country, its founders, its people, its opportunities, and its contributions to the planet. Sure we have our flaws, but I can’t wait to get back to America and not drink sparkling water anymore (whoever invented that needs to be in prison), not have to use Kilometers or Celsius anymore, and sink my teeth into a Chick-fil-A sandwich (Truett Cathy, Hapeville, Georgia 1964) God Bless America.
