Yugoslavia experience made me appreciate USA’s kindness

By Oregon250.com,

As part of our celebrating America’s 250th Birthday we are featuring people’s stories on why they are grateful to live in America. Here is one:

“In 1962, when I was 11 years old, my dad took our family with him to Yugoslavia, where he worked for 10 months for the U.S. Commerce Department. Helping improve their steel industry.  I learned first-hand how blessed we are to live in the United States, the true land of freedom and opportunity.”
