Patriot’s Pen

America has given its citizens, lots of gifts. From the time we are born to every single moment of our lives, we have America to thank. Lots of us wouldn’t even be here today if it weren't for America, and we do not show our gratitude to America often. Too much Americans take their freedom for granted. One of our gifts from America is the freedom to vote. Some other countries have a dictators, and are completely controlled by their government. Another gift America has given us is the freedom of religion. Every Sunday people wake up and go to a church of their choice, and practice a religion of their choice. Lots of us take that for granted. In other countries they do not have basic human rights, like freedom

Freedom summarizes what being an American is about, but it’s not what an American is. An American is someone who is brave enough to do something even though the punishment is severe, someone who sees opportunity and stops at nothing to achieve it, and someone who doesn’t take the easy way out. Bravery is part of the definition of an American.…
