    As a Kurdish guy born in a village near Turkey-Syria border I never had a country I could call my own.

    Turkey discriminated against us. Banned speaking Kurdish. Banned naming kids Kurdish names.

    Thanks to my fate, I got moved to USA by my company. Eventually became a US Citizen and my kids were born in USA.

    I have been out of USA almost a month now. Visited Syria, Iraq, Turkey and now I am in Germany.

    I realized I missed my country, America. I missed my flag. I missed my Star Spangled anthem.

    America gave me an identity. Made me feel part of a country. America made me loyal to a flag.

    I visited Nazi concentration camp today. It made me appreciate America more. Seeing those gas chambers and all. Knowing American soldiers freed those Jewish slaves.

    I appreciate America. I appreciate it more when I am outside America.

    Jesus, a Kurd from Turkey living in America. What do you speak, like seven fucking languages? I should've know better than to try to match wits with you. I'm from the north shore of Long Island, I can barely speak English.

    This sounds a little too patriotic. Like something someone who was planning something would say.

    Was Turkey named after the bird or was the bird named after the country? I'm sure I could Google it, but I'm feeling lazy.

    And it's people like you who make America great. USA USA USA!

    Everyone is named Stan over there. Kurdistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan. They should change it up and name somebody Steve.
