Never Better: Proud to be American
Enjoy the patriotic story of Fred–inspired by a true story. Fred came to his new country and embraced all that America had to offer. He worked hard at school, sang his new national anthem with pride, and helped other immigrants learn English too. See how Fred’s “never better” positive attitude helped him overcome many obstacles so that he was able to remind others that America is a land of opportunity and freedom.
