Patriotism
Patriotism would be showing one's love for his/her own country. Whether it's Painting your face with the colors of your nations flag to putting a flag out in front of your house during Independence Day. Patriotism can also be shown by supporting troops overseas to helping your local pantry. Even in the darkest days of our nation we still had hope to progress forward. On 9/11 we were shocked by the events but we knew what had to be done. During Pearl Harbor we knew that we couldn't sit around we had to go to war. During times of war 20-30 year old men joined up hoping to serve his country and bring hope, prosperity and safety to people overseas and at home. Patriotism also means taking action about a situation. Showing pride, dignity and honor to others. Leading the way forward with hopes of a bright future. But for these men it meant back to the front. Everyday and night the sounds of men dying civilians, and weapon and artillery all ring through the minds of these men. But the spirit to die a beautiful death and knowing they did their best circulates through the minds of these men as well. But serving their country and planting the flag at the top of a mountain means that they've served their country well

This piece is really good, it shows how much we care and will never stop caring about our nation. Maybe you could have talked a little more about other various topics besides war, but otherwise nice job!
ReplyDeleteWell written response. The word choice was excellent. You should submit this to the contest.
ReplyDeleteAlec War Brings out Patriotism within people. Like in the Battle of Iwo Jima we Raised the flag on Mt. Surabachi. Or when the Russians planted their flag on top of the Reichstag. War brings out the patriotism within people.
