This is Memorial Day weekend, so I thought I would focus on some things that have made America great, some things that have quietly made all the difference so that our country is amazing. We are so lucky to live here, and we don't say that enough. I'll be right back with my first example, right after this.

America had its share of amazing, extraordinary people, but in reality, you, the ordinary people of America, built the greatness here: the teachers, the farmers, the mechanics, the small business owners, the factory workers, truck drivers, immigrants who arrived here with nothing, and families working multiple jobs with absolutely no recognition. America did not become powerful because life was easy. It became powerful because generations of people kept moving forward despite setbacks, hardship, and uncertainty. You are great, America.
