Three Types Of Freedom In America

“Everywhere around the world/ They're coming to America/ Every time that flag’s unfurled/ They're coming to America/ Got a dream to take them there/ They're coming to America/ Got a dream they've come to share/ They're coming to America.” After hearing the song “America” sung by Neil Diamond, I felt truly blessed. Many people living in different countries are not given what we have in America. America has many great things like freedom, family, and simple things like food. People in other parts of the world may not be blessed with these things. Would you ever want to be anything other than an American?

People can express their freedom however they choose. Freedom is one of American’s greatest rights. It is taken lightly to some, but to others freedom is valued greatly. We have three types of freedom in America. Physical, true, and personal. Physical, the freedom to go where you please and do what you want. True, which is to be free of all habits, good and bad.

The national anthem was reserved for special events, and other nationalistic songs were seldom heard. Essentially, American patriotism lay in a healthy and impervious repose until its rude awakening that morning in September. The sights and sounds of that horrific day are unforgettable. We witnessed a nation coming together, first to aid the victims and then to begin our collective healing. Blood, sweat and tears were all literally given to that end. That was patriotism.
