I am Proud to be an American

Our country is one of those things that people think “Oh, well yeah I live here woopdy doo.”  No, we need to be thankful for it, the people who fight for it, and the people in it. We would not be here today if they weren’t out there risking their lives for us. We need to be proud of our country.

            First reason I am proud to feel affection for my country is freedom. We are a free country and it is going to stay like that for a long time. We have the right to do and say what we want. We choose our own words no one puts them into our mouth. We need to be proud of our country.

            Another reason to be proud is the people who fight for it. The people who fight for it are so amazing. They are heroes. They risk their lives just so that we can live another day. The military might risk their lives and die, and some people wouldn’t even be concerned. These people risk their lives for this country and others. These people care about more than just people inside of their families. They care about you and your family. We need to be proud of our country.

            Our courage is so amazing that we can go and fight in war that we didn’t even start. We go and we fight and we save people and sure that country gets mad at us for a while and then they realize that maybe this ended up helping them. Then they become stronger and we are no longer enemies with that country. We need to appreciate our country.

            See these are all the reasons that we need to appreciate our country. I am proud to be an American and to say I am proud of my country. The soldiers protect us from danger and make us a free country. We need to appreciate our country.
