My brother sent me an e-mail today with a link to the Born Again American Organization website. I had not heard of it before, but I am hoping that it grows strong and its message is heard and supported across the country.

After viewing the video, I signed the Born Again American pledge, which declares:

I am a Born Again American
I am my country’s keeper
My President and my Congress report to me
And so ~
I will stay informed and involved
I will make my voice heard
And not just at election time
I can make a difference
I matter
I am an American, Born Again

One of the things about living in Coronado is that you are very aware of the presence of the military. Established in 1917, the North Island Naval Air Station lies on the north end of Coronado and the Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, commissioned in 1944, is on the south end of the city.

The presence of the military both the enlisted men and women and their families living in Coronado make Coronado an extremely patriotic community. It is a spirit that I embrace, a spirit that makes me know in my heart that although we are going through troubled times, we can band together and help one another to make it through and thrive.
