From the Rocky Mountains towering high above the sky to the rolling planes flat on the ground as Americans we have a lot to be proud of. What does it mean to be proud of America? It doesn't mean you have to agree with everything the government says. No, it means to love and serve your country in whatever ways you can. As president John F. Kennedy states in one of his most famous quotes "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." He's trying to say that instead of asking for things like money from the government, we should try and help the country by joining the millitary or doing simple things in your community that might even help someone.
Now let's answer the question of why we should be proud of America. I say we should be proud because we have so many things other countries don't. For example our country respects all races and religions. That in fact is why so many immigrants came to America. They wanted a safe place for their children to grow up and wanted to be accepted. Another thing that our country has and some others don't is freedom. We can all vote and have the right to speak up about things we don't agree on. I find it amazing on how many people can't vote because of their skin color, religion, or even something as stupid as gender in other countries. We surely have many things to be proud of.
America stook together from the beginning. In the days of the colonies when we had to fight Mother England against incredible odds we never gave up and eventually won the American Revolution. We still say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing that grand old song about that beloved star spangled banner. For all of the reasons above we should be proud of America!
