We love to travel. Through personal travel and missionary trips I have seen many wonderful places in the world. I love discovering new culture and I believe there is much to be learned from other countries. After almost two weeks away, however, I am reminded how much I love my country.
We are traveling home on the United States’ birthday. In honor of her special celebration, here are 10 current reasons I love America:
- I love the USA because we have air conditioning in hotel rooms.
- I love the USA because we have baseball.
- I love the USA because we call the right game football.
- I love the USA because we drive on the “right” side of the road.
- I love the USA because we smile when we meet people on the street.
- I love the USA because we us deodorant regularly.
- I love the USA because we value capitalism.
- I love the USA because we appreciate good customer service.
- I love the USA because we respect personal space.
- I love the USA because we actually trust our police officers.
We have our faults, but when it is all said and done, there is no place like home.
God Bless the United States of America…my home sweet home! Happy Birthday! May your best days be in the days to come.

In America you might appreciate good customer service but there sure isn't much of it…. 🙂 I guess we appreciate what we don't have! From an Aussie who loves the USA. Happy 4th of July to all.
Ha! That's true more and more for sure.

Calico, I didn’t at all mean for my list to come across as though I didn’t appreciate all the things you mention in your comment, because I certainly do. If you follow this blog then you know I speak frequently of each of these, including my appreciation and love for the military that keeps us safe. This post was simply meant as a light-hearted look at some of the travel differences I have encountered the last 2 weeks while I was away in other countries. These are certainly not my “top 10” reasons I love the USA. Thanks for your comment and I’m sorry if I was offensive to you.
Why doesn't the value of family, people, love, compassion, freedom, health, and happiness make the list? Is basketball really more important than feeling safe in our homes or having the right to choose how many kids (or none) we have?
its why he likes the us… not u
