My Turn: We are exceptional

I just finished the April 24 opinion piece submitted by Allen J. Davis and Tom Weiner [American exceptionalism – really?]. I found it disturbing and disrespectful to a person who loves this country and truly believes there is none better!
Personally, I was blessed with a 30-year career that took me to every corner of this great country. It was a privilege to meet some of the most “exceptional” people in the world; civilian and military, native and immigrant, man and woman. All believed they were part of an “exceptional” experiment called America — and they call it home. Most strive daily to make their place, their own part of this “exceptional experiment” by toil and service for the common good. Some — fewer than one would think — for some inexplicable ideological confusion, or out of misguided self-righteousness, or as some suspect, out-right mind control believe this nation to be “the evil” empire.
