Every Memorial Day
eve PBS hosts a Memorial
Day Concert. My parents and I watch this every year even though it is
emotionally exhausting. We feel that it is the least we can do for those
who gave everything for us.
I am thankful to live in a country
where we honor our military and their loved ones. We proudly sing the
Star Spangled Banner at every game. We watch fireworks on every
Independence Day. And we fly our flag proudly from homes, restaurants,
schools, and parks. We have memorials all over the nation remembering our
founding fathers and the wars that our ancestors have fought to protect our
freedoms.
Our sons and daughters, mothers and
fathers, brothers and sisters, friends and spouses, continue to fight this
day for these same freedoms. Freedom to worship as we see fit.
Freedom to speak our minds. Freedom to redress grievances. Freedom
from tyranny. We are a land ruled by law, the Constitution. That is
why it is so revered and so protected. This paper, makes us the United
States of America. But not only that, the lives of every man and woman
who fought so gallantly for this nation, makes us the greatest nation in the
world!
God bless America!
