God Bless America

Having received the American History Award in high school in 1981 I can honestly say one needs to know only 3 things to win it hands down. these are: It stinks, it still stinks, and it will probably continue to stink. Just live your life the best you can and try to love life and people as much as you can. Oh well.

Receiving The American History Award is such a honor. Wow. To me it's awful that kids know more about instagram and facebook than why the civil war took place, who gave us The Statue Of Liberty or why tunnels were built under the ground when Lincoln was president. I am the neice of a Viet Nam double amputee vet and the step daughter of a Navy Seal. Through "The stink" remember the courage it took to be stuck in the smell. I liked this one.

I got a 790 on the American History Achievement test in high school out of a possible 800. America does not stink. It is quite a violent country but has some great places to visit - I have been to many of the states. Peace Matthew Anish
