The Country You Leave Behind
Mr. President,
I love my country more than anything but my family. I served for 8 years in the U. S. Marine Corps and was privileged to spend time in about a dozen different countries. Some were western style democracies and some were what we often call "Third World" countries. In each and every one of them I had the same experience. Upon learning that I was an American, someone would approach me and say "I wish I could live in America."
