Why I Love America
I believe America is the greatest nation on earth. I get goose bumps during the National Anthem, I get upset when people don’t take their hats off during it, and I love to see the flag flying. Here’s some reasons why I love this incredible nation:
- Many of my relatives served in the Armed Forces. My brother is still active duty Army. I had 2 uncles who were POWs in WWII. I served in the Navy and will always have a special place in my heart for people who sacrifice to protect and promote the cause of freedom.
- God created us to be free and died to set us free. Freedom is from God. America is the land of the free.
- America has given me so many opportunities. Everyday is an opportunity in America.
- America’s history speaks very clearly that we were founded “under God.”
- Football, Starbucks, Waffle House, Cracker Barrel … God bless America!!
- I once met a Medal of Honor winner by the Vietnam Memorial. His name was Gary Wetzel. I looked up his story of what he did to earn the highest honor our nation gives … unbelievable. People just don’t do what he did … but it did it for his fellow soldiers, for the mission, and for his country.
- Ronald Reagan inspired me to believe that America was in fact that “shining city upon a hill” … a beacon of hope to the world. His optimism in the concept of America and in Americans themselves made me a believer in the American dream, in American ideals, and in the American people.
- I can worship God freely and tell others about Jesus. I can be a “shining city upon a hill” here in America for the cause of Christ.
