"We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." This is taken from the Declaration of Independence and was written by the brave men who created our country 231 years ago. They thought freedom was worth fighting and dying for.
I think of all the wars our country has fought, and still is fighting, so we can have the wonderful gift of freedom. There have been many brave women and men who have risked their lives so we can live the way we want to in the United States. We still have women and men fighting for our freedom today.
Some of my relatives have fought in different wars. My great uncle, Mel, my grandpa, and my mom's cousin, Lee, fought to defend our great country, knowing that they could be killed.
Freedom means to be able to vote for whoever you want to be in office, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, the right to a fair trial, and many other freedoms that we take for granted.
To get the freedoms that we so enjoy, Americans have fought bravely and many have lost their lives. Our veterans have fought to keep our country free and we should all be thankful for that. I am glad that we honor our veterans and I am proud to be an American!
