  1. Its true that we are ethnically diverse in the US. However, we share a common culture.

    We believe in LIBERTY. We have fought for the liberty of others like no other nation on earth.

    We are a Christian nation. "In God We Trust" is on our currency and the majority of American's are Christians.

    We believe in "E Pluribus Unum" - out of many races, ethnic groups, etc - we are ONE people.
