USA = FREEDOM

As we head off to the North American Irish Dance Championships - or Nationals, I find it fitting we hold it over our own Nations birthday.  This country is made up of immigrants from other countries.  The Irish were not treated well when they first arrived in America.  That didn't stop their dreams.  I am so grateful for all of our ancestors that came before us, who carved out and believed that anything was possible.  I am living that dream today because of their sacrifice, love and determination.  I'm grateful for all those who still sacrifice today to keep our country free - may they be protected and blessed!  What a great country this is!  God bless the USA!  Definitely proud to be an American!!
