America Is Strength Essay

Improved Essays
America. A country that has survived so much and accomplished many things in its history. War, poverty, and attacks on our way of life. All of things that America has managed to get through, have only built us up. The multitude of catastrophes we have pulled through in our time, are due to one thing. Strength. Despite being a small and common word, its meaning for Americans is huge.
In the sixteen years since the Twin Towers came down and the Pentagon was attacked, Americans have learned a multitude of things. We have learned that even if we get knocked down, we can get back up stronger than we were before. We’ve learned fight to protect our way of life from those who try time and time again to destroy it. America has learned that it has strength. No matter how many times we have been attacked and threatened, Americans don't back down. Americans know that we are strong and mighty, and we are continuously reminded that nothing can bring us down. America has always been able to bounce back from catastrophe, and America will continue to do throughout the years to come.
September 11th, like many other historical events, good or bad, has brought us to where we are today.

I hope the future will bring an impenetrable army, a fully united government, and more people who go out of their way to live and help others live to the fullest of their ability. This may not become a reality in the next five, ten, or fifteen years. Something like this may not even happen in my lifetime. Regardless of how long it takes for our land to reach a state of being untouchable, I hope that newer generations will never know what fear is. That they never have to fear for their futures. I hope that years from now Americans continue to know how strong they are and that America is powerful. There is strength in numbers, and if Americans stand together and unite, no thing nor no man will be able to knock us

    Occasionally terrible things happen, but it's not the fault of our country, only the individual(s) responsible. There are some bad people in the world, and that is such an unfortunate reality that I think some people let cloud their minds and soil places/groups/countries as a whole. What really makes America special to me, and why I have such a strong admiration for my country is our ability to deal with terrible situations. The way we come together as a nation is truly inspiring. Whether it's peaceful protests or marches, food drives, volunteering, or any sort of help, the people of America are truly some of the most giving and kindhearted people I have ever seen or met.…
