I can list things like this for a long time, but it boils down to a few big things.
1: Our freedoms: The Bill of Rights gives Americans the fundamental rights that we enjoy every day. Everything from freedom of press and freedom of speech to freedom of religion and freedom to assemble. Those are some damn good rights.
2: When America is united, we are almost invincible: When some ideal or mission manages to unite all the people in our nation, we will succede in that mission. We might be divided most of the time, but every once in a while we all rally behind something. That's when our potential can be seen.
3: We have the O.C.
