Everybody's Definition Of Being American

Everybody’s definition for being American is different. I think that our generation defines if you are American if you have pride towards our country and to stand up for what you believe in, and to be respectful to the people around you and the people who fought for you to be here. Being American also means you spend time with your family and spend time with people and not just ignore everyone and do nothing.
For example my family and I have a lake house down at the lake of the ozarks and we usually have a lot of family and friends over. We go to the lake every weekend during the summer and it is definitely one of our favorite things to do. On the fourth of July we all get in our boat and go to the middle of the lake to watch fireworks and have fun with everybody that's there. We love to meet new people down there and hang out, have a barbeque, go get ice cream and more!

An islamic extremist group named al-Qaeda hijacked four planes and attempted suicide attacks against places in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C. and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. If you make inappropriate jokes about this you will definitely be called un american and probably get asked if you are even human. This made up a HUGE part of America and it is something nobody will forget. It is also extremely frowned upon if you are disrespectful towards firefighters, policemen, and medics that fought for us during this
