For starters, not being cynical. Going from there, the Mercury, Gemini Apollo and shuttle space programs. The St. Louis Arch, the Superdome, Cahokia mounds, Moundsville, Poverty Point, Death Valley and an assortment of cultural and geologic sites. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, the Gettisburg Address and other documents cronicling our freedom. The steam engine, the submarine, armored ships, the cotton gin, powered flight, cheap automobiles and other inventions or innovations. These are but a few things I am proud of and what comes to mind when I say I'm an American. > -----Original Message----- > From: Benjamin Falloon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 4:22 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: The Anti Terrorism Act.. > > > How can you be proud of America?
