I was born here in Rhode Island. My ancestors came here from eastern France in 1814. I love my country. I was a Eagle Scout and the best “American Moment” was at the National Scout Jamboree in Virginia. Hundreds of scouts, a huge fly over, President Bush (1989), and groups that sang patriotic songs! The tingles lasted for ever!
