Italian Americans hold two countries close to our hearts: Italy, the ancient land of our forefathers and ancestors, and for some recent emigres, their recent former homeland, and the United States of America, our new home. We are a very patriotic community, loving and respecting our new homeland as few can. Of course, we recognize that no nation is perfect, and we all have faults that need to be addressed, but our love for and connection to the United States runs deep. And on or near July 4th, America's Independence Day, as an example, every year a patriotic song is sang after Mass at the Italian Church in San Diego, at Our Lady of the Rosary in Little Italy. Usually, it is "America the Beautiful." I wanted to share this with you so you can enjoy this inspiring rendition which was captured on July 4th, 2017. @ourladyoftherosarysd @ourladyofth @ourladysgift @olrlittleitaly @littleitalyofla @littleitalysd @littleitalymercato @houseofitalysandiego1973 @italian_cultural_center_sd @conviviosociety @sons_of_italy @sonsofitaly_ca @italianamericancatholics @italiancatholic @dioceseofsandiego @italianfeasts #italiansandiego#sandiego#quarantine#italiancatholic#westcoastitalians#littleitalysd#sandiego#california#italiancalifornia#italianamerican#july4th#independenceday#America#USA#americathebeautiful#theitaliancalifornian @chris.mforte
