Patriots Pen Essay

Authors note- This essay is about our wonderful country that we live in and how thankful we should be to even live in the U.S. 

             I don’t really know what to say about our country. The United States is a spectacular country to live in because we have the freedom of speech, which tells us that we have the right to say whatever we want and the freedom to say whatever we want. Some countries don’t get freedom. For an example, North Korea doesn't have freedom. Once you enter their country, you can’t get out.

Our army is a brave army because there are so many people in the U.S army who are willing to die just for us. I haven't really thought about that, thinking that there are so many people who love you so much that they would die for you. We definitely should be thankful. The U.S has many groups of armies. Five groups that are part of the U.S army are the Marine Corps, air force, navy, army, and coast guard.

Honestly, we always complain about the smallest thing. For an example, having not enough clothes or being hungry. Many people everywhere are suffering from starvation and financially. What if all of a sudden, your parents come up to you and say that they have no more money to buy you clothes or food. There are so many children that live in Africa that only live a short amount of time because they don’t get food everyday like we do.

We have the right to believe whatever religion we want. Whether it’s Christian, Catholic or Lutheran, or Buddhist, you can choose to believe in whatever you want. Many people from Europe came here because of religion in the past. We can all believe in what we want to believe in. Imagine life when we have to believe one religion and if we don’t believe that religion, then we have a punishment. That’s what happened back then.

We should be lucky to even have the privilege to live here. Many people from different countries come to live here every day. Whether they are from France or Africa, there are so many people that come here because they want to live a wonderful life. My parents came here because they wanted to explore a different country. I’m glad to be living in a country like this.
