Personal Essay: America's Gift To My Generation

In America, a person going to war is praised for serving their country and protecting their people from the enemies. The soldiers also feel pride when they leave for war and are excited to serve their country. In reality war is not what an average person might think. Although it is

Although it has flaws, America is undoubtedly an outstanding place with extraordinary freedoms and opportunities for everyone. People put their lives at risk every day to protect our nation, and I truly believe that they should be recognized for this. Both of my grandfathers were in the military to protect your freedoms. Every day, they would not only risk themselves, but also risk the possibility of never coming home to their wives and children. However, they both felt that protecting America was worth the potential sacrifice. In my opinion, they - and all other service people - are some of the bravest men and women in this country. It is upsetting to witness the new “trend” that is disrespecting the flag, the National Anthem, and the nation itself that so many individuals die for. However, my grandfathers fought for freedom, meaning they fought for your rights to disrespect their sacrifices. People living in America should learn to respect these brave men and women, not hate and protest

“All gave some, some gave all” is a famous quote from Howard William Osterkamp. America’s gift to my generation is freedom of speech, respecting, appreciation of veterans. arms. All these gifts are the ones that make our future what it is today, America.

The United States of America, is a nation that people have risked everything to somehow be a part of. The rights and freedoms that are we given here are often taken advantage of, because we don’t know how blessed we truly are. This nation was founded on the idea of freedom, that we as people, are given natural rights that from birth and by God we have. If I was to define what America means to me I would say perseverance, success, equality, and freedom. All of those adjectives might just seem that they are nothing except for words, but they mean something much more.

Everyday there seems to be new conflicts arising around the world. Today’s men and women are gaining the courage to enlist, to protect our country, from our veterans who were so brave in the past. They set a path of courage, bravery, and strength for who become

Lee Greenwood said, “And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.” Everyone in America should be proud that they live in a free country. These rights occurred due to the men who died while honoring the country. The America I believe in is giving us the power to be free and to speak.

Many members of my family are veterans. The service of them makes me very happy. It just makes me happy that they risked their life to save ours.I want to thank everybody who risked their lives for us it just amazes me.So i am about to tell you about veterans.

America’s gift to my generation is freedom to all, a good education for all, and hope. Hope is that thing that never leaves. Hope is that thing that is able to push you out of bed in the morning. All the kids that have no families and live on the street, they have hope to keep them going. Hope that they are blessed with spectacular education, a good meal to eat everyday, and a loving heart warming family. That’s what America can provide. The gift is not being like some other countries where you are having to be trained and enrolled into the military while you’re still little kids. In some other countries, you don’t even get to have the job you want, you are assigned a job that is chosen for you by the government. Not having to be like those

¨ It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences¨ (Unknown). Humans should not discriminate others because of what they look like, what religion they are, or even by the color of their skin and that is what this quote is saying to me. I am so grateful to know that I live in a generation that is more accepting than any other. To know how my parents and grandparents and so on had to live with hate from others just because of the their appearance. I do know that my generation still face discrimination, but it is not as bad as the generations before mine. This matters because people can feel comfortable in their own skin and becauses is sets us

They’ve fought fights for us to keep us safe and free,they risked their lives for my

88% of people in the US graduate high school, 59% of people in the US graduated college, but 100% of people have the opportunity to graduate. The reason I showed you the statistics is because every one can graduate high school. But not all people do so that's why I showed you that. The whole thing matters because everyone needs the education. If you have the opportunity for a good education then take it, like how my mom dropped out of college and now she doesn't have a good job to pay some bills alone. America’s gift to my generation is education.

¨Accept people for who they are,you shouldn't try to change them¨. This quote means just because people are not like you shouldn't judge them.It also means that people should accept you for who you are not who they want you to be.This topic matters to me because back in the day people used to judge people because their skin was a different color and they were not like them.They also used to judge people because their hair or they didn't have the nice clothes like they did.But now this is less of a problem. America's gift to my generation is acceptance.

I am a proud American citizen, born and raised in a family, and in a state, that highly values the principles of American citizenship. This has given me the chance to witness events that have shaken the foundation of the country. In my life I have had to remain a bystander as wars were fought, terrorist attacks unsettled every American, and live under a government with inner conflicting views. Growing up in America has also granted me the opportunity to observe men and women be brave enough to sacrifice their time and lives to protect this country. The example these brave service members have set rises the standard for all Americans. These military personnel have the courage to respond to the extremities of war and to the panic that follows
