Personal Essay: America's Gift To My Generation

America’s Gift to my Generation is safety. For years our country has been threatened by outside forces. Without the military that America has and has had I would not live in the safe country I do today. I feel especially patriotic towards the military because my grandfather fought and was shot in the Vietnam war. The fact that he could have died for not just the sake of the people who were back in America at the time but for my generation’s safety. Not only has America ensured safety for it’s own people but it has stepped into keep other countries as safe as ours. An example of this would be when the U.S entered WW1 and WW2 to fight alongside the allies to defend Europe. This, in my opinion, is the perfect example of bravery and sacrifice.
