America´s Gift to My Generation Because of my elders who fought in the Korean War and World War II, my generation has one of the best gifts from America which is freedom. There are other rewards, such as the right to vote, the right to bear arms, and more. Without the men and women in the military branches, we wouldn't have the rights that we do today. This is what makes America a great country to live in. In my opinion, freedom is the best gift to my generation. Freedom gives us the right to go to school, freedom of choice, and so many more rights that no other gift could give to my generation. No one else except veterans, soldiers, and the population of men and women willing to risk their lives can give us this stunning country we live

    They who serve that we may enjoy the best America has to offer; FREEDOM AND PEACE AT HOME. Those who choose to serve in the ranks of our military do so voluntarily. Some first join to help pay for school. Some join in the pursuit of learning a job skill for when they return to the comfort of home and family. Others join because it was their childhood dream to take up the Profession of Arms. But whatever their reason they all volunteered to provide a necessary service to America and in so doing extended that service to the rest of the world. This service is manifested in providing comfort to our own citizens suffering from the devastation of Katrina two years ago to the current events which unfolded in the wild fires in California. They also brought hope and comfort to peoples of other nations such as the people who suffered in the earthquakes in Pakistan and those areas devastated by the tsunami a few years before. From the deadly beaches at Normandy, to jungle warfare in South Vietnam, the vast deserts of Iraq, or the hillsides of Bosnia-Herzegovina ... the American service men and women have contributed the brunt of the force required to provide sanctuary and hope for the weak and oppressed. Those veterans have answered the nations calling and have done and continue to do so proudly.

    U.S. veterans have helped the life I and many others live in, in so many different ways. If it weren’t for them fighting in the war for our independence we might be in the country of England with a queen and were we don’t get to pick who leads us. Veterans have helped by fighting for getting rid of slavery, like if it wasn’t for them my step-dad might be working for some random slave owner I probably wouldn’t have met him. They helped find terrorists like Osama bin Laden, he might have still been out planning terrorism if veterans didn’t fight to find and kill him. To be a veteran means you had the courage and strength to fight for other people no matter the cost even when you knew you could’ve died out there.

    “Freedom.” It is a word with many different connotations, but symbolizes one central idea: Liberty. Freedom has always been deeply embedded in the history of our nation. Throughout time, many Americans have fought for freedom. From the Pilgrims, who set sail from England to the shores of Cape Cod to escape religious persecution, to the Founding Fathers of America who fought for freedom from England’s oppression, our fellow Americans have always fought for what they believed in. They gained certain freedoms that they thought would not only be important to them, but to future generations. However, it is evident that society today does not value those same freedoms.
