We kind of monopolized the term, but anyone from North, Central, or South America can call themselves "American" correctly.
Whoever you are, the spirit embodied in the OP is what I consider the spirit of the US. We don't have a monpoly on the sentiment, but that's what we're built on and that's what every one of us should stand for. I was raised with cartoon images driven into my mind of "America" being a place where people of every race and religion stand side by side, hold hands, and line up from one coast to the other. That's the place I want to call home.
