America's Gift
America’s Gift To My Generation
America’s gift to my generation is freedom, America is now a symbol of freedom. Ever since July 4, 1776 America has been free. The most recognized laws for freedom in America is the original ten amendments. The first amendment states that you have the right of freedom of speech. That basically says you can’t say whatever you want and you can’t be criminalized for it. That is one gift America has given to my generation out of many. Another amendment probably the most recognized amendment is the second amendment stating that the American citizen has the right to bare arms. The only reason we have these rights is because of veterans willing to sacrifice their own lives to give us these freedoms. My father and brother

As Americans, we should respect our country and the freedom and rights given to us. We shouldn’t take this for granted because so many people around the world are unfortunate to not have this gift that most of us were born with or given.…

    “My great chance to to learn, to be a civilized being, to become an American by living with them.” Chunk 2 America and I. An American learns and works hard for what they believe in. “I saw America-a big idea, a world still in the making.” Chunk 6, America and I. Americans are working hard to grow and make America what they want it to be. “Since the beginning of our American history we have been engaged in change, in a perpetual, peaceful revolution, a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly, adjusting itself to changing conditions without the concentration camp or the quicklime in the ditch.” The Four Freedoms. For America to grow we have to work hard to fight for equality and a perfect place for everyone to be considered the same. We can’t accomplish that by sitting back and not take action. Our hard work is what makes America become America. “The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.” Bill of…

If we do not learn from the mistakes of past generations and leaders, then we are doomed to make the same mistakes of the past.

    An optimistic, spirited, and wise man, Ronald Reagan, once acknowledged, “We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.” America is a country deeply rooted in freedom. Liberties are found in the Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. The United States is our homeland where citizens celebrate the blessings of liberation, are united as one in nature and purpose, and come together in agreement that without the American military, our country would not be “... land of the free and the home of the brave.”…

    Throughout the world, the United States is infamous for its guaranteed freedom to its citizens. People travel from all around many different parts of the world to get a taste of the lifestyle and opportunity the United States citizen’s are offered everyday. This nation thrives on preserving our personal freedoms, property, and liberty; moreover, it is the nation’s promise to its citizens. These rights are binded in our coveted Bill of Rights and the Constitution, a document for the people by the people.

    America has set an example for the rest of the world. We are the pioneers of freedom and justice. Our valiant military members work in a sedulous manner, day and night to maintain freedom for all Americans. The pursuit of freedom all started like a seed when we revolted against the British to establish this great country. Other foreign countries saw America as a trailblazer, as we made our own path to freedom. America inspired other countries such as France to rise up, and fight for what is truly yours: freedom. This was just the beginning of the freedom movement. Countries everywhere were resisting egregious leaders to start their own movement. Foreign nations hindered by a lack of leadership took initiative and rose up for their rights. America’s dedication to freedom is best represented by…

One is the school they spend most of the day at, and the environment which their home.…
