Every individual born in America is
ultimately given an unbiased privilege,
the right to take our first steps freely and
without boundaries. This entire world of
such diversity, challenge, succession, and
unlimited opportunities within, is like a
present that is offered for each and every
one of us to rip open and uncover the
mysteries that are in store for us. We can
all share the present and be a tiny part of
it all, and that is the beautiful thing about
it. As an American, you can grow up and
fulfil your craziest dreams, you can leave
the country and be welcomed back as
many times as you wish to, you can be
your own leader and choose how you
want to go about life, and you have the
exceptional freedom to share your unique
spirit with whoever you meet.
However, without that victorious freedom
that we rightfully earned, almost none of
the earthly treasures would be as
enjoyable as it could be to us. America
would not be so great without such a key
factor to our nation. That is why we
should never underestimate freedom in
our country. Of course, America is not
perfect, but America should not be to
blame. We as the free citizens within it
are what determine how great it can be If
we each took a moment every day to feel
gratitude for what our past has fought for,
for the sake of our current lives, then
America could be not only a free country
but a truthfully proud country. We can
have all of the freedom we want but it
wouldn't make sense to have it unless it
got the appreciation it most definitely
deserves. Let us not forget our
triumphant wins and our losses. Every
veteran who fought wholeheartedly in all
sorts of positions and environments,
should overall be generously recognized.
It is because of them that we can wake
up every morning safe and sound in our
protective country. Our military is the
heart of our ground. It keeps us going
and we depend so much on the heroes
involved and were involved in the
hardships of battling. May you never be
taken for granted for serving the country
dignifying and all of your fierce love you
gave under our high-flying flag. Let's
always be proud and express great,
selfless love like a veteran.
