Pride for the United States of America

“I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free, and I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.” Lee Greenwood sung these words in his song “Proud to be an American.”  Are you proud of your country? What have they done for you? My country is pure and kind hearted; people have taken their own lives for me to survive. Our country is special; we have freedoms but with freedoms come laws and responsibility. We have an amazing country with freedoms to do things others can’t, we the Americans should be grateful that we live in such an extraordinary country.

Since we have such a liberated nation, people all over the world want to live where we are, we don’t have a dictator, we have a free government. A dictator orders people around telling them what to wear, who they are, and who they have to be. Our government has a huge process, the president wants a law, and then he has to ask the congress to approve and majority rules. Basically we can’t just have one person tell us what is right or wrong, we have a procedure we have to do if we want certain things and they take a long time to develop than just what a dictator can do. Not only do we have a free government we also have certain freedoms other countries respect as well.

Although we have laws and responsibility, we get amazing freedoms in our country too. We have freedom of speech, where we can say what we think to others and not have to worry about consequences of what the president or others thing.  We have freedom of expression too. Which means we can express ourselves and who we are, we can wear what we want to where and be who we want to be. 

Finally, I’d like to say, I’m extremely proud to say that I live in The United States of America. Some people may not like certain decisions made in this nation, but all together we all appreciate United States, as Lee Greenwood once sung…

“I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and it’s time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

God Bless the Usa.
