Author's Note: This essay is about why I am proud of my country.
One of the best things about our country is that we have the freedom to choose our government and president. We have great sports in our country and great players that play those sports. I love listening to our national anthem because it reminds me of people fighting for our country. I’m also grateful for our military because they are prepared to fight for our freedom. There are many men and women who have left their families to serve in foreign lands. For example, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have lasted for several years. During this time, these soldiers have made many sacrifices for us. They have left families and friends to protect our freedoms. In some cases they have died to keep us safe.
In addition, this country has great schools for students to get an education and then get a good job in the future. I’m grateful for the jobs we have here in this country so people can have money and live a good life. We have great hospitals so people can get excellent care. I’m also grateful for our country and how we have delivery trucks that transport goods to different places so that we can buy almost anything we want. I’m grateful for the great cars we have to travel around this land. We have great places in this country to have vacations and lots of tourist attractions.
