When I worked at Rider University for Study Tours we would get this email on the 4th of July from our supervisor.  The email would be really heartwarming about how he felt to be an American.  The essence would include that what we were doing on a day-to-day basis for our international students was not only important, but that we were so incredibly lucky to be charged with such a task.  Our job included, above everything else, to provide the students with a truly American experience.  He would talk about our freedoms and pride that we have for our country.  It really was inspirational and students that were with us on July 4th would get to experience a special celebration.
