200 years The United States of America America has now celebrated her 200th year as a nation! This is a milestone in all our lives, not just be- cause the USA is now 200 years old, but more important what she has done for herself and others in that length of time. Two hundred years is a very short time compared to the length of time other influential nations have been in operation. But there is really no question that we as a nation have done more than any one group of people. We have provided the world with more scientists, inventors, doctors, teachers and scholars than any one country. We were the first to reach the moon, and we are the largest country with a free democratic government that is working. We would be foolish to say that our government is perfect, but where else in the world can a man born in a log cabin become president, or pennlless immigrants become millionaires in just a few years. Where else do you have the freedom of choice to choose if you want to be a president, banker, teacher or ditch digger? What other country has the total freedom we enjoy such as freedom of worship, freedom of speech and freedom of assembly? We are also one of the few coun- tries that operate with a free press. Eve hough the actual date of our 200th birthday is past, let's not stop celebrating, let's always appreciate the things America has provided for each of it's citizens that no other country can match.
