I know that most of us have seen this video by now. And it is amazing! These people deserve all the accolades and praise that is being heaped upon them. Their actions were incredibly heroic and extremely dangerous. I’m sure that if you spoke with any one of them right after this event, they would have said they did not think about the danger they put themselves in at the time. Just strangers coming forward to help yet another stranger in distress. (Good Samaritans all of them.)
But I didn’t choose this video for the reason of pointing out their great courage and sacrifice. However, I would like you to take a look at the overall makeup of this group of people. Old, young, male, female, white black and every color in between. Construction worker, businessman, people just walking down a street, and without notice came to someone’s aid.
But as I said, I didn’t pick this video or this topic of heroism. I’ll use it to just point out the diversity of this particular group. It helps make my point,
Americans who are we really? We all know that in the beginning of the United States, when it was just the Colony’s, it was a group of people who came to a new land looking for a better life. Scientists have been able to trace the American Indian, up through Canada, across Alaska and the Bering Straits, to Asia and Eastern Europe.
Americans who are we really? If you ask someone on the street today who they are? You will get answers like (I don’t know /I’m African American/I’m a Mexican American/Italian, Irish, or any number of other ethnic groups, and it’s true our ancestors all came from somewhere else. I believe that having pride in one’s heritage is great. We need to keep in mind that our forefathers came here as foreigners, aliens in a new country . They worked hard, fought hard, and soon became the first Americans. Our forefathers were both proud of being where they were from and where they are now from.
Americans who are we really? We are a group of people whose heritage stretches beyond our shores. We are people who work together for common good, live together in harmony, raise our family’s educator young, and look forward to a better tomorrow.
Americans who we really? Just take another look at this video. Look at how a group of people who may have had nothing in common before this accident, came together for a common good.
Americans who are we really? We are the best of all who came before us. Although our forefathers struggled, fought and suffered. They gave us the distinct privilege to call ourselves Americans.
Americans who are we really? We are Americans of different and disdain ethnic origins, We are American first and then African/ Hispanic /Irish /Italian or any other ethnic background that you would like to claim. We’re also Jewish/ Catholic/ Protestant/ Muslim /Hindu/ Buddhist/Atheist. We are Republican/Democrat/Independent or not political at all. We are a country as colorful as the rainbow and as different as night is to day.
Americans who are we really? We’re a group of people working, playing and living in harmony. We can be walking down a busy street and when the need arises, we can take action to help one another without the worry that our forefathers had and others in other countries have to worry about today.
Americans who are we really? We are united people who enjoy the freedoms that is rarely seen in other parts of the world. Our diversity is what makes us strong. Which brings me back to the video. People from different walks of life and different ethnic backgrounds working for the common good of us all. Some of us were born here because that’s where our forefathers left us. Others chose to come here seeking what our forefathers built and we have. We all want a piece of the good life. A life guaranteed to us by a constitution, laws and a right to choose our own leaders,
Americans who are we really? Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, neighbors, friends and strangers living independently—in a united community— the good old U.S. of A.
