Patriots Pen Essay

Authors Note: This is a piece about why I am so proud of our country.

 Am I proud of my country?  Well, yes. I’m very proud of my country, think of all the things we’ve accomplished. Our country has won wars, has great achievements, and has the best government.  I am so proud of my country.

 First off, we won the Revolutionary War that practically started our country. Outnumbered and with less firepower, we still prevailed. Second, we won World War One and World War Two. Both were two of the biggest wars ever.  Lastly, we won the Vietnam War that went on for nearly twenty years.  I am so proud of everything our country has done.

Even though winning all those wars is something to be very proud of but without the troops who fought in it we wouldn’t have won anything.  Being a soldier is very difficult and requires lots of training.  Then, you have to risk your life on the battlefield.  Also, I am proud of all of the families whose siblings or parents fought in the war. It is very hard for them, too, not knowing how their family is doing or what they are doing.

Although, having all those soldiers is something to be very proud of, there are a lot of other things to be proud of like the peoples safety.   The USA has had the best motor-vehicle safety from 1990 to now on cars and motorcycles.  Also, the USA has the safest workplaces in the world which means people who work in factories don’t get ill as much as other countries people.  Plus, the USA has the healthiest moms and babies because of enhanced hygiene, nutrition, antibiotics, and tools from 1990 to 2000. 

In addition to all of those things the USA has a democracy government which means we can all live free.  If we lived almost anywhere else in the world we couldn’t do nearly as many things as we could today in the USA.  The citizens of the USA have the power of speech, we can go anywhere and we do almost anything.  The government we have today lets us choose who our leaders are.

There are all these great things our country has done.  Everything our country has done, I am so proud of.
