Patriotism
Imagine only hearing gun shots, bombs exploding day and night. Never knowing which moment could be your last, if you will ever come home to your family in that small town, cozy home, you grew up in. Walking out of your room, having to be ready to protect your life. But at the end of the day they would do it all over again just to be able to raise that American flag and say,” I put my life at risk to protect our loved ones and our country.” Loving a country is a quality that some people have a lack of in their lives. They wish that they had a better love for their country yet they are too lazy to even try to care at all. It might say that we have a right to free speech, but the speech that we speak of is not putting our country on top of a pedestal. It’s talk down to our country, hate, rant, and despise. Talk of how we don’t like what’s going on and not agreeing or collaborating with people we like. On the other hand people, will care; they will help, and will try to agree with things. They try to make America a better place and try to make something of themselves to become a better country. These people are called true patriots. It’s easiest for people these days to just say, “ohh yeah I’m tough and I want to go into the army, it won’t be that hard.” But the reality is that its one of the most traumatizing, life threaten jobs out there. People honestly dont realize how hard it is to leave your family for months to years at a time and not have a guaranty of coming back. Patriots weather they are a Capitan or a Freshman you are still a hero, just because your rank might not be as big or at the top of the pyramid doesn’t mean it’s not important. Everyone in the service has a part, no matter how large or small it may be they still protect our country and for that I thank them from the bottom of my heart. Without patriots who’s where we would be today…
