Am I Proud of My Country

Authors Note;
The reason I started it the way I did is because not a lot of people don't really know what the meaning of proud. Are you proud? 

               

Proud, what is proud? Proud is the feeling you have when someone does something your amazed at. The feeling that you have when you are at a loss for words. America is the land of opportunity, the land of second chances. Am I proud of my country? Yes, I am.

Reasons, you want Reasons? Well, People don’t call it the “American Ingenuity” for nothing. Look at all we accomplished. We invented the atomic bomb, the telephone, and the light bulb. All of the things Americans have invented could fill a library. Americans have invented something for everything.

In times of trouble, Americans have always stuck together. When terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center and The Pentagon, to some people, it was the end of their world. To others, it was a chance to show their strength. At Pearl Harbor, did we go crying to our mommies sniffling? No, we held our chins high and toughed it out. In all of the instances, we stuck together.

Our military has always been protect and serve. They have always been there for us in times of thick and thin. Men and women lay down their lives to protect us. People have no idea of the horror these people go through to make sure we’re safe. For that, I thank them.

Our founding fathers believed in equality and freedom. That is why they formed the Declaration of Independence. These men were risking execution for high treason, so we could escape British rule.

Am I proud of my country? Look at all of these reasons, and tell me what you think. Are you proud of your country, because I am proud of my country.
