Why I'm An American Patriot
Benjamin Forshee - 8th Grade -
July 29, 2008 |
| | When you think of patriotism what
comes to your mind? I think of
freedom and of how honored I am to live in a country free of
terrorists and slavery.
Many people take freedom for granted . . . I
for one don't . . . And so do most of my friends.
And each morning in school when we say the
Pledge of Allegiance . . . I would be the only one in my class to
know what the words mean. It's sad that some people discriminate our
freedom that we had to earn . . . Freedom is never free.
My father is a very patriotic man and taught me
everything I know about this county. He taught me respect,
loyalty . . . and to stand tall and be proud of who I am. And
to him . . . I thank dearly.
God bless the troops in Iraq . . . I pray they
make it home safely.
And God bless America! |
