Daddy: "You know, in Saudi Arabia you cannot celebrate Valentine's Day?"
Sarah: "Why not?"
Daddy: "Because in that country, the people cannot choose to do what they want or to believe in God they way they want. The government tells them what is allowed and what is not. Store owners who sell valentines and presents are sent to jail. You cannot even wear red on Valentine's Day without getting in trouble."
Darren: "I'm proud to be an American."
Mommy: "Me too, Honey. Me too."
Regardless of what happens in our country, we have so much to be proud of --and so much to love.Happy Valentine's Day.
