You make some excellent points, and, from what you’ve shared, agree that many take all that we’ve been given simply by birthright for granted. Being born in this Country is a gift, and, hopefully, more of us will realize that.
I am extremely aware of that fact, because several generations of my family fought to secure the freedom all of us enjoy today. My Dad was an Admiral who made some very key decisions during one of the greatest conflicts in which this nation has ever been involved.
You should be very proud of what you have accomplished, and the life you are trying to provide for your family.
Hopefully, whatever risks you choose to take will be well rewarded.
