American Legion Essay
America- Home of the Brave, Land That I love. Wow, that phrase has such an influential meaning and impact on me. America is one of the greatest world powers currently and has a booming economy in comparison to other nations. I love America for three basic reasons. First of all, America is full of opportunity; religious, social, economical, etc. Second, America has freedom for everyone, no matter what race, color, or religion. Third of all, America has one of the most powerful armed forces in the world.
The first reason I love America is because of the opportunity waiting to be seized here. There is religious opportunity, job or economic opportunity, social opportunity, and much more. America has a booming economy and anyone with an education can easily obtain a job. In addition, any American who is talented at something can easily become famous and prominent in society. In many foreign nations, there are social classes and people from the lower classes do not have the same rights as the priests and nobles in the high class. But, in America, everyone has an equal opportunity to excel and succeed.
The second reason I love America is because of the freedom here. In the flood of immigrants in the early 1800’s, most immigrants came to America to escape religious prosecution. The first amendment itself has a bountiful amount of freedoms enlisted in it. Freedom of speech, religion, press, and assembly are a few of them. We are very fortunate to have these freedoms. Many other countries do not have these freedoms. For instance, in many Muslim countries, women do not have the right to talk in front of nobles and respected people. In America, everyone has the right to talk and express themselves freely. This is one of the most important reasons why I love America.
The last reason why I love America is because of how powerful America’s armed forces are. America has one of the most powerful army, navy, and marines in the world....
