I'm in the middle of reading John Adams, by David McCullough, having thoroughly enjoyed 1776 by the same author. Both books provide a greater understanding of the bravery, ideals and unwavering commitment of our founding fathers. I was also recently reading The American Patriot's Almanac which was a gift from a close relative. The book gave me a long overdue opportunity to reread the US constitution and bill of rights. I strongly urge you to do the same. It will give you a renewed appreciation for our nation's values. God bless our men and women fighting overseas as well as those serving diplomatic missions in some of the most dangerous places on earth.
