Why am I proud of my Country

Authors Note: I did this essay on the project, Patriots Pen, which I did not want to do and would not like to have it in the contest.

Why are you proud of your country? Is it because of the military, who risk their lives for us? Or, is it because you are proud that you can pretty much do anything you want that isnt illegal like, freedom of religion, freedom speech, and many more things like that? I am proud of my country for this reason, and many more.

I like the military because, they figth pretty much to risk THEIR lives for OUR freedom. I am really appreciative because, they really could die at any second during battle. They must have a lot of guts to be able to go school for it, which is very hard to pass, and then half to go across the world away from your family for possibly, a week, month, year, decade, or possibly never see them again except, for maybe pictures that they send you in letters every month or so. I think that is very sad because, people can't get along on this world, and half to fight other people for no reason because, of a stupid argument that people can easily make a decision, no one gets injured or dead, and everyone is fine and they move on with their lives but, we half to have wars and kill each other until one military just forfeits and the war is ended. I am still so proud of them because, they still just risk their lives for our freedom and life.

That is my answer to the question, are you proud of your country?
