I am proud to be American.  America was created on the backs of people who wouldn’t let our flag fade. Those people made our flag shine during the darkest days. In the Civil War we fought for the freedom of others, our flag was created.
I live in a land where men and women protect our flag so it never falls to the ground. For hundreds of years, we have fought for our God given rights--and we will always fight, for freedom always rings in America.
I go to a school where I am allowed to learn. Everyday, I pledge the flag in honor of those who allow me to become wise. I learn from triumphs and mishaps my country has experienced. I learn so that one day I can make a difference in the world.
I belong to a church where I can believe in whomever and whatever I want…a liberty not every person in the world has.
I know that when I see a flag, I don’t only see fabric. I see each thread that was put into creating a symbol that represents the blood, purity, and tears that made my country. I am proud to be American.
