I acknowledge that America is far from a hero to the world but in the spirit of thanksgiving I would love to hear what moments of American History you are proud of.

Saved my life ... the healthcare system, that is. Not quite sure how to define it. But most other countries I’d be dead now.

Freed Western Europe twice, freed most of Asia, freed Kuwait, freed Iraq, freed South Korea, rebuilt Europe, Japan & South Korea.

hey iraq, you don't have clean water and all your cities are bombed out husks, but you're "free" now, you're welcome
shawnemack
I think it depends on your definition of “freed”

If a European doesn't speak German or if an Asian doesn't speak Japanese, they can thank America for helping with that status.

marshall plan is a good call out tho. also we didn't "free western europe" once, much less twice.

notmyfirstrodeo
The Soviets contributed the bulk of the blood, but the US provided the trucks, planes, & other war material that allowed the USSR to fight.
flarflarf
this is correct.
notmyfirstrodeo
Germany had 2/3 of its forces on the Eastern Front during the war.

OH! Marshall Plan.
