What makes YOU feel American

This was an awful moment in modern American history. An assassination attempt on a candidate for president.

Our country has such a long, rich history. I find it shameful that my countrymen should draw inspiration from this moment in particular, above all other moments.

I think he was pointing out the American spirit of taking a punch and not cowering like a European va-ja-ja.
 
Putting on my uniform, looking to my left and right, and knowing that my brother and sister war fighters would give our lives in defense of yours.

That while we stood watch, we were our Nation's Sword and Shield.

Cut me open and you'll find the Constitution tattooed on my heart.

Guess the jobs I used to do, making stuff that keep American Soldiers safe while they deliver other stuff that completely obliterates terrorists.
Cruising around in my Mustang with the top down
Watching my boys get married and having strong relationships with their wives and seeing the daughter just get up and go work for Disney since last August shortly after she graduated
Just providing for my family and getting to ride this roller coaster we call life, with my wife who for some reason saw something in me that I really can’t figure out, lol
Many more things but those are just some of the things, in no particular order.
Where do you live? Maryland?

Taking a drive while listening to great music
Getting together with a group of close lifelong friends over beers/bourbon while telling stories and laughing at all the crazy chit we used to do back when we were so young that the concept of being in our 50's and pushing 60 was strictly theoretical and was never going to happen.
