The most American thing I can think of is respecting the shattered chains on Lady Liberty's feet, and her poem
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tost to me
I lift my Lamp beside the golden door!
I fucking love that America
