Summary
First, Jim is thankful for how accessible a wide variety of good food is in the United States. Greg expands on this, pointing out that if someone is able to do something well or produce a good product in the United States, they can succeed.
Next, Jim appreciates state parks, and how easily we have access to the great outdoors. Greg discusses how there is fascinating history to learn in all different corners of the country.
Finally, they reflect more on our history. Jim observes how bestseller selections at bookstores usually include historical fiction or nonfiction, and how Americans are passionate about their history. Greg feels indebted to our founding fathers and their wisdom expressed in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence - including how our precious rights are from God and not from government.
Have a safe and Happy 4th!
