Flying in the American Dream , Grounded on American Soil (change it to Foundations of American History if you want but I suggest this title Some three hundred odd years ago , a few brave souls ventured to travel on perilous seas something that most of us would wish for , a second chance . They wanted a clean slate , a fresh start , and a chance to live out dreams that they thought were impossible from where they came from They bought with them only the necessities to survive in a new and uncharted world .

We are here not only because we were searching for brighter horizons , greener pastures , but because we believe in the ideals of this nation .
