america

It is hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that 13 years have passed since the Twin Towers attack. So much has happened; I came home from Ecuador, got married, went to college, moved 7 times, bought a house, and I have 4 kids now who are all in school. I hope they are being taught what happened to our country 13 years ago.

I am not a big fan of clowns - they don't scare me like they do many people, but I am a bit creeped out by them. On that note I am not really sad to learn that America is facing a national clown shortage.

With recent information stating the demise of the DVD within the next 5 years, it comes as a big surprise to me that the majority of Americans still own a VCR.

This is something that should happen a lot more frequently. In fact, if I had money and flew more often I would love to do this! American Airlines upgraded 6 marines to first class seating. Which is awesome - but it gets better.

Despite what you may hear on the news - America is still a pretty awesome place to live! We don't live in a third world country where it is near impossible to get clean water or food. Yet we still complain about the silliest things. Read below for the top 10 worst first world problems.

Of all places for this to happen - New York would have been towards the bottom of the list! An elementary school principal has banned her Kindergarteners from singing the Lee Greenwood song God Bless The USA (also know as Proud To Be An American) because she feels it would be offensive to other cultures.

Approximately 65 million men fought in World War One.  Only three of them are still alive.  And one of them is American.
