I was born in the U.S. This is my country.

It's very important to me that people see I am an American and I was born in the States.

I was fortunate enough to be an American citizen by birth and I have the birth certificate to prove it.

A popular bumper sticker post-9/11, and pretty faded these days, proclaims drivers of the cars to be 'Proud to be an American.' It really should say 'Lucky to be an American,' for I doubt very much that the drivers had much say in having been born here, and are not old enough to have participated in the drafting of the Constitution.

There's so many examples of just how lucky we are to be born anywhere in this world that is free.

I was born in New York.

I was born in Belgium. I went to school in England and in Switzerland, then I came to America, so I really feel like I am a citizen of the world.

I'd always somehow felt slightly as if I'd been born in the wrong country.

I was born and grew up in the greatest, the noblest achievement of the human race on this planet - which was called the United States of America.

It's hard to think of myself as an American, and yet I am not from India, a place where I was not born and where I have never lived.
