Importance Of America To My Generation
America has given my generation most countries would dream of having. The freedom, technology, education, etc. We get our freedom from veterans who want everyone to be free, engineers that create technology that we use every day, fugitives behind bars by police officers, but America has given up us more than we deserve sometimes. But when we stand together as a country we are more powerful than we ever thought we could be. That is one of the best gifts that we have ever been given.

The gifts to my generation are phenomenal. They create our lives with factors or pieces that need to keep our lives together. Our lives are a game of chess. You need every piece to play the game. Mainly the kings and queens. Our kings and queens of the country are

    As Joe Barton once said, “Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it, and is a reminder of the sacrifice of our nation’s founders heros.” Our flag is not to be knelt upon, but to stand as one together, remembering how Veterans risked their lives everyday to go to war and give us freedom today. The least we can do is to thank you. You gave me a future, freedom of speech, and an education, and so many more things.…

    Do you know when our national anthem first came to be the official anthem of the United States of America? The anthem was written by Francis Scott Key and became the official American anthem on March 3, 1931. America's gift to my generation is freedom of expression. Freedom of expression means we have the right to express our opinions in many ways. Currently, the professional football players of our nation seem to be using their freedom of expression to, in my opinion, disgrace our country's anthem.…

While another might say that America gave their generation freedom of religion.

    What it means to be an American, most people would tell you it means freedom to pursue and do what you want. In my opinion freedom and the “dream” don't come easy it takes more than hard work and dedication to earn a dime in this country. To be an American it means, responsibility to serve and do everything in your power to be a part of your society. To be an American it means you will obtain rights, for example, the 2nd amendment states you have the right to bare arms. To be an American it means you have freedom, to own whatever you desire if you work hard enough for it.…

    America became a country on July 4th, 1776; over 240 years ago. That’s greater than 240 years of generations of people trying to define what it means to be an American, but few still stand true today from that long ago. Being accepting of others, not only other ethnic groups but fellow Americans as well, is one way in which things have not changed from the first American generation to the latest. One of the longest standing traits of the “poster child” American is being courageous, whether it be to earn our freedom or to fight for our rights as a civilization. Taking pride in our country is one of the oldest, and strongest, qualities of an American that was so important in the forming of our country and of equal importance, if not more so, today. Our generation defines what it means to be an American with the simple, and somewhat original, manner of being accepting of others, being courageous, and taking pride in our country.…

    Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Being an American is being free and open for change. Change is almost like an occurring thing. Sometimes I wish that maybe instead of making change, we could understand what we have first, almost take recognition. Then suddenly, we muster up something in a moment and then we feel it's not good enough so we build onto something new. Why can’t we understand what we have, rather than trying to make something new?…
