My Responsibility to America
What do you think responsibility means? To me the word means to take ownership for my actions and words, taking charge in a situation that I know I can handle, and doing my duty to God, my country, and others. The official definition is the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or having control over someone. But what is our responsibility to America? Here are a few things I believe they are, first you need to pay your own way not have the government or others pay it for you. Because if you don’t you are just another lazy citizen taking money from your neighbors. Second, you need to take care of your children, provide for them, and teach them how to be a good person and so they will help our country thrive. Third, we need to preserve our nation for future generations to take over. And last we need to protect and defend our constitution and honor those before us who have done this and put America first before any other country or place. My personal responsibility I believe is taking care of and protecting those who cannot protect themselves, we need to defend our rights and constitution

We need to ask God to help us fulfill our undertakings and study how to become a prosperous nation. We cannot do this without God and I am sorry, but that’s the truth and if me talking about God offends you I am not sorry and I will continue to help our nation to thrive through his plan and his way because his way is the only way anyone or anything can prosper and thrive in this world. The Bible says “ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. So with his help and fellow believers and Americans, we can complete our mission to America and we will truly thrive and be great in God’s name. Only if we as a whole people of America fulfill our responsibilities to our country and our God will we truly be

    The U.S. Army had been under a magnifying glass since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a result, the Secretary of the Army and the Army Chief of Staff gave directives that the Commanding General of the Training and Doctrine Command lead a review of the Army as a profession from changes that had taken place since the beginning of the wars. The Army as a Profession of Arms is still not defined concretely. My perception of the Army as a Profession of Arms is that we are citizens, volunteers, trained to eliminate the enemy, and entrusted with a moral ethic and duty to serve and protect the rest of the populous of our great nation. We, as volunteers in our profession, have answered a calling that we are committed to something greater and…

    America is the land of the free, because of the brave. Americans enjoy many freedoms because of the democracy our ancestors fought very hard to establish. 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.…

    What does being an American mean to me? Being an American means that I say the pledge of allegiance, I can vote when I'm of age, but most of all it means that I am a free citizen and that I am proud to live in the United States here in Missouri. But there is much more to being an American than saying the pledge and raising a flag. I've noticed Americans tend to talk a little louder, laugh a little harder and tell their stories more freely. It means that when I grow up I can pick the job I want and vote for the president I want to serve.…
