What Is America's Gift To Me
America’s Gift to me Generation America’s gift to my generation and many generations before me are many things. The main gifts that I appreciate are freedom, safety, and welfare. Most people have been sharing opinions with me about other Americans kneeling during the pledge of allegiance or the national anthem. I do not believe that kneeling is appropriate or respectful. It is disrespectful to those who fight for our freedom. The reason those people have the freedom to kneel is because of the outstanding men and women who are brave enough to fight. The fact that they have the freedom to disrespect our country is actually amazing. Even though the amount of disrespect they are showing is not appreciated, I would fight for them to be able

    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.…

    To be American it means much more than just Sunday Night Football and relishing fast food. It means that one has certain rights, rights one cannot be deprived of. Being American means one has the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. One has the right to practice their religion no matter what it is. This allows Americans to live a life without being forced to conform to a single religion. That is part of the reason that each American has a diverse background. Another privilege that Americans have is the right to an education. People in other countries are not given an education causing them to be illiterate. This right allows one to prosper in life when one becomes older. Liberty is the state or condition of people who are able…

    Welcome to the ball game where the batters hit, the pitchers stretch and the crowd is full of hotdogs and pretzels, then someone comes out sings the “Star Spangled Banner,” every one stands and puts everything down and their hand goes over their hearts, and then the everyone recites the Pledge of Allegiance. The importance of the Pledge of Allegiance has always been unnoticed by the younger generations of children who do not recite it everyday. When we were in grade school we recited it every day of the week and I take pride in the pledge that shows true patriotism and Americanism. Americanism, what is it? Someone on the street might say, “Well it might be being caring and nice to others, or helping someone in need.” Whenever I think of Americanism I think about the Pledge of Allegiance.…
