John Wayne was the quintensial American.  Europeans will only get us when they realized calling us Cowboys is not an insult.

I love America so much, because since I was a young boy,even though I am from Italy,I have always felt that America was my home. And It is!
The land of the braves!

"The land of the braves!"

Ciro, only if you are in Atlanta. Everywhere else is the land of the Red Sox.

Just kidding, thanks for the link. It got me all choked up.

I am surprised that anyone here fell for this.  Show me any landmass on Earth without beautiful geography.  The fjords of Norway, the steppes of Asia, the tundras, the oceans white with foam.  It reminds me of the Nilson lyrics to "Most Beautiful World in the World." 

Your mountains when they grow
Your valleys down below
I love the way you wear your trees.

I love America
because
this is the place on Earth
where you come
to create wealth
and make yourself rich.
 
America is the land of new ideas,
new inventions,
new creations,
new modes,
new forms.
 
The peoples of America are diverse,
interesting, odd, unusual, and peculiar.
Americans are individuals,
and therefore individualists.
 
America is a land of utopias,
of cities on hills, actual and symbolic,
created by visionaries who dared
to dream -- and more:
to make their dreams real.

Cuba is beautiful, Mr Marotta, but the cubans hate their own country why?

I love America, though I sometimes wonder if it the real America that exists or the idealized version in my mind :)
