MEET CAPTAIN AMERICA♥

" It is nice to get a reminder of what makes America great. No, it is not who the president is, or whatever political party is in charge at any given time. No, it is about people like our conductor on the train. Born in a small village in Liberia, a two day walk from a road. A man who came to the US and made his way. He works each day, entertain passengers with his good humor and is still amazed that late night tv hos can poke fun at the president. This is a man who lives this country so that his nickname is Captain America. It is people like him that have ade, and continue to make this a great place.".....Tony Z
Captain America keeps telling us that he is writing a book about America. "America is the greatest place on earth," he exclaims! His book will be entitled AMERICA IS NEXT TO HEAVEN.
