Are you proud of my country? When I think of that question, it makes me think of a big, independent, strong, and mostly peaceful, country that makes me safe and proud to I live here. I am proud of my country, because of many different things, like the military, pioneers, presidents, sports, and the patriots of the United States.
When I say I’m proud of the military, I don’t just mean the military; I mean the army, navy, and all the others too. It means a lot to this country that we are free, and if we didn’t have these people of the military are country would not be like this today. Our special forces have also won lots of important wars for are country, and other countries too. Some of the memorable wars we have won are World War 1&2, Korean and Vietnam's wars.
The United states also have a big history in sports. Are country is the founder of football, baseball, and my favorite sport, basketball. Baseball and football were both invented around the same time (1863-and-1879), but basketball was not invented until 1892, and was not played until the 1900’s. In recent years a couple pro athletes have joined the army in time of need. One of the athletes was an NBA player named Pat Tillman he join the army rangers and later died in 2004, in Iraq. Pat Tillman is not the only one who has done this, there are many more pro athletes who are willing to help are country.
Finally I want to tell you about the pioneers of our country, and how they changed the United States. If the pioneers didn’t come over to this country we wouldn’t be here right now, we would be back in Europe maybe, and we wouldn’t have the great country we call home today. When there were too much people on the east coast, the pioneers were the ones to migrate west.
Once more, pioneers, presidents, military, and sports, are some of the many reasons that I am proud of my country the U.S.A.
