Americans are so proud of the country they live in. We are a country like no other in the world. America was built by people coming here from everywhere else. People come here to work together to build a homeland, a homeland that will be theirs. No matter who you are or what your racial identity is or what your religion is, this is your land.

America is a land built with ideas of equality and justice for all. While it does not always live up to that standard, we are people, after all. This is a place where everyone can voice their concerns and disagreements. It is a land that tries to meet and exceed the standard it has set for itself.America is big and beautiful--in land, in people, and in spirit. It is a land flowing with milk and honey literally. Despite the fact it is not perfect, it has been blessed in so many ways.

The only way America will be lost is when we forget this is the land of the free and the home of the brave from all over the world. When we forget who we are and try to be something else, only we can destroy ourselves.
