What is America’s gift to my generation? What does this mean to you? To me, this means what my generation has that others didn’t. I am so thankful to be an American because some situations people are in are a lot worse, but I don’t have to experience that. These are some of the things I think are gifts to our generation.

There are many policemen that risk their lives to keep us safe. The people in the armed forces work very hard for the USA. 344,959 soldiers died in combat in WWI and WWII.
