It's Memorial Day Weekend so I thought i would just give everyone a chance to throw out things they associate with America, or what kind of things are American to them. And if you see any of our troops make sure to thank them!
America!

"@Lunacyde: Yes, I was born on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, but I always saw myself as an "earth citizen" if you know what I mean, I don't car much for borders and stuff. "
I know what you mean....I try to find a balance between that and also loving and being proud of my country.
