In my opinion, serving your country means that you as a person are willing to put your life on the line in order to defend our freedom. It means that you are obstinate in the fact that freedom does not come free. We can sleep in peace knowing that you are out there on the front lines keeping us safe, because to serve and protect is the code that you live by. Those who serve our country fight to protect our democracy and our independent Nation.
War. A three letter that is, sadly, one of the most determining factors of the history of all of the nations worldwide. This is the word that devoured so many young souls and shed the blood of the nations, not just in world wars, but in the civil wars of each nation as well. It might be thought that since there has been no major war affecting the well-being of this nation since I have been alive, that I would be ignorant to the emotions and appreciation to those who risked their lives so that I might take my first breath. This is a false generalization, though. Every breath that I breathe, I thank God for allowing me to be born an American. I thank him for helping America and the allies to win the war against Germany and the Japanese. Everyday, ideas and thoughts flood my head of how different life would be for me if I lived in a country ruled by a communistic government.
