Thank you, Shay, for this lovely piece! Your words are like healing balm to my soul. Recent years have been so trying and have made me doubtful that our American experiment will survive. The hope and promise I hear from you and other newly-minted Americans is reassurance there are fresh reinforcements in this ongoing battle for freedom.

Thank you for this, for joining us, and making our country richer in multiple contexts. As a native born American, I wish more native born Americans could realize how good America can be. Often we need new Americans, like you Shay, to help us see it. Happy 4th.

A great read. I so appreciate positive articles like this by one who has experience life’s hardships and diversity and yet loves our country as I do, for he sees The America we both want and I believe it is what most Americans want. Thank you brother
