Is there pride in serving in our military?
What is your definition of pride? Webster’s dictionary defines pride as satisfaction in something done or owned. Pride can be defined as several things, such as having high self-esteem or just being an all around self loving person. I know when most individuals think of the definition of pride they think of someone who is arrogant, has a very high opinion of themselves and always has the thought of being superior to others whether it because of their intelligence or their physical appearance. But pride is not always defined as being self centered. When it comes to the U.S. Military, i define pride as being proud of something one does or accomplishes every day, or one who finds pride in their country.
There is a man, he did not serve in the military long. But he learned a lot in his 8 years of serving. He served when there was really no war for America to fight in, so he was never deployed, but he still learned a lot about how the military works. This man that I am speaking of is my father. And yes, i asked him the exact question that I am answering for you today. “Is there pride in serving in our military?” He did not understand what i was asking at first. But then I explained to him that the question is basically asking, should and American be proud to serve in the U.S. Military, after i asked him he thought for second. Then looked at me and said “absolutely yes.”
I fully agree with my father. Now the question is why? Why did i decide to agree? Well, I agree because if someone is serving in the U.S. Military they fight everyday for the largest free country in the world. I find that as something to be very proud of, because they are willing to fight for the country they love. They are willing to risk their lives for their friends, their neighbors, their family and the men and women whom they have never met who live in the United States of America.
These men and women serving are so selfless that they are willing to go to an unfamiliar
