Happy Independence Day!
It is at this time of the year I am always reminded about how great
our country is. I love America and am proud to be from our country.
No country is perfect, and we are far from perfect, but I’ll always
believe that our country is such a great place where opportunity
abounds. We are afforded so many freedoms many don’t have.
I thought this might be a good chance for a short quiz on the USA.
See how many of these you can answer. You can find this on line
