Are you proud of your country?

Authors Note: I was very happy when I found out we had to write about this topic. Writing about this topic made me show how proud I am for my country.   

 Our country has fought so many times just to keep us safe and to keep what not every country has which is freedom. I am very proud of my country for standing strong and being brave for all of us people. I am so proud of my country for keeping us safe and fighting for not just one but all of our lives.

         

          I would think many people are very proud of our country. If you are not proud no one should judge you because it is just an opinion. All of the people in the war may not know everyone in this country, but they do know that it is their job to keep us safe and they succeed in that  to make us happy, and like I said before very safe. I could not think of one person that is not proud of this country.

          Every Christmas I am so glad that they sell the poppies for the army. If you donate a dollar to the Salvation Army, you get a poppy. During the 4^th of July I am so happy to celebrate the accomplishments of the people that fight for us and most importantly their family. When soldiers go away to fight I love that they know that they have a family waiting for them when they get home. A family to enjoy them, their love and what they do best.

          A lot of people have had family members in the army. Like my two great grandpas were both in World War 2, and when my great grandma was born the Great Depression was going on. Even though they aren’t here anymore It doesn’t mean that I am not proud of my great grandpas fighting for us and I am lucky that my great grandma survived the great depression as a baby or most of my family wouldn't be here. I am so proud of my country.
