I have recently discovered the joys of the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (thanks insomnia!), and I saw Monday night’s episode where he was given a gift of an American flag that flew over the Capitol last September (Craig became a US Citizen last September). Along with the flag came a short note. Here it is:
Dear Mr Ferguson,
Please accept this gift from myself and the people of Ohio. I cannot express how proud I am of you and the many others who chose to be United States citizens. So many Americans, especially in the current state of the world, take being an American for granted. You however, help all of us to remember how great this country is. You are a true patriot.
Best wishes, and thank you, because it IS a great day for America.

I think this is something to stop and think about. It’s a nice sentiment. I like that it is straightforward but not the zealotry that’s so lately been associated with being patriotic (coughlast8yearscough). A lovely change.

I love me some Craig F. He recently wrote a book, too. If all goes well Martin becomes and American citizen next Monday. Ok, gotta get back to helping him study!
