America

America

From the sand of Afghanistan to the dirt of France.  To the sound of the screaming Vietnamese with the smell of blood throughout the air. Earth shaking when the towers fell. The site of the Kennedy’s lifeless body as bullets ripped through him. All of these are events that shook America, events that would have torn other countries apart. But not us.

As Americans we solve problems, not problems like “What is beauty?”. We solve practical problems. Sadly peace is not always achieved. In which case we must use force. Because what happens here matters over there. Every fight is our fight. We don’t just get to sit one out. This act of extreme valor is what makes me proud to be American.

As a American citizen I feel it is my job to help make the best of America. Every person deserves to be free. No matter their race, hair color, or gender. God put us on this earth to be human. Yet, some people think that freedom is a crime, a act of betrayal. We know this is not true. We as Americans exercise this freedom.

This part of the constitution is one of the most important. It defines America. I want to thank the Founding Fathers. The sacrifices they made, the time they spent, the need for a free country led to this country. The only thing I would change would be the right to bear arms. I think automatic weapons should be able to be possessed by the public. If you have a permit. Which would take 1 year of classes to get.

 I am proud to be a American. We are all part of the greatest nation in the world. Thank you Founding Fathers for all you’ve done, for this great and free country.
