...America is a very advanced, unique, brave land. In fact, it is called “The home of the free; land of the brave. The America I believe in is all of these characteristics. There are many adjectives to describe us. As an American citizen, it is safe to say that I am proud to live here. My family and I live normal, safe lives. The only way we have the opportunity to do these everyday things, is because of our soldiers. Many Americans lost their lives due to war, and it was only to give us Americans freedom. Without freedom, we would be living in an undeveloped country with poverty. Seeing these people on the news in other countries makes me feel very grateful to have a home and support. I sincerely respect all the soldiers who gave their...

...“America the land of the free and the home of the brave”. I was born on military base in the middle of Texas and grew up on one as a young child. Throughout this short part of my existence I have never seen nor witnessed racism around me. With videos about Martin Luther King JR’s experiences on liberating the minorities; I believed racism had been a closed chapter in our country’s history. When I moved to Florida was the first time I heard the term NIGGER. NIGGER is a nasty word that goes against every principle in the constitution, it is the antonym of a free person or a citizen of the United States. After constant exposure to such prejudges did I actually start accepting the thought of inferiority. Maybe white Americans are better...

...“America--- Home of the Brave, Land of the Free” Have you ever sat down, and really thought about all of the people who have died for our freedom, and all of our rights? I know that I haven’t really thought much about it at all, until today... Many people all around the world take our freedom for granted. Imagine if the amazing, brave, and thoughtful people who fought for our freedom and rights hadn’t fought. Our lives would be nothing like they are today. We would probably still be under Britain's control, and be abused, or demanded on what are every move would be. I know i’m glad that we are a free country who elects are leaders. “I’m proud to be an American where at least I know i’m free, and I won’t forget the men who died who gave that...

...Freedom Freedom is the power of action, speaking, and thinking. We have had freedom since they signed the declaration of independence on July 4, 1776. The thirteen Colonies regarded themselves to a new. I’am thankful for living in America because of our parents and grandparents. Because our grandparents might of fought in a war for us. Even our parents could be transferred and they aren't with you right now. America is great we should be proud of America because back then there wasn’t freedom for some people. They had slavery too. Would you have wanted to be slave? Nowadays there are hard workers. They have to work to pay bills for their families. To me what home of the brave land of the free is that we are brave and we have freedom....

...Some people wonder.. Why is America the land of the free? Why is it the home of the brave? And the bad thing is, not all Americans even know how to answers those questions. But there is a belief that there is an answer to both, and these are those answers. Why is America known commonly as “the land of the free”? Because America gives you many freedoms, such as the right to vote, or the right to have free speech, and even the right to speak what language, and worship what religion we want to worship. Even those who have committed crimes have rights, such as the right to remain silent, and the right to an attorney. In America,...

...Home of the brave and the land of the free. America that's where we live. A country where millions fight and millions die for me, you, and everyone in this great U.S. of A to be free and make their own decisions and live their lives as they want. These veterans are brave and now and for as long as there are veterans and people willing to fight free. Home of the brave, it stands for the people risking their neck for people they love and people they don't know even exists. It’s a sacrifice that they make for us. There are families waiting, and waiting for their loved ones to come home for war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Germany, all over the world but most of those families will not see their loved ones again cause they fought for this country...

...myself surrounded by people far too involved in technology; phones, internet, social media in general, all brilliant inventions yet all so detrimental to the young minds of my peers. Often we forget how lucky we are to be able to call America our home and know what it means to be truly free. Too often the sacrifices men and women have made and continue to make everyday in order to call this land ours have faded away; lost in the pages of history textbooks or dead in stories that were never passed down through the generations. It is sad to say that in my generation I feel young adults have...

...The American flag for me represents strength and freedom. I am proud to be a part of a country that has fought so hard for its independence. America is one of the few countries in the world that allows as much freedom as it does. Look back to the 1940s during WWII when the Nazis were trying to take over Europe. They limited the freedom given to their people. In fact, they tried to limit their people. Adolf Hitler began a movement to eliminate Jews, chipseys, gays, and disabled people; he wanted to create the “perfect race”. The reason I mention the Nazis is to show how much freedom Americans have. We have more freedom than we realize. We aren’t thrown in jail whenever we talk bad about our president and we aren’t killed whenever we commit a small crime. We are free to live the life we want and do the things we want. Our president works hard to make our country safe. When tragedy strikes, he is at the scene showing respect and...

...What makes America the “home of the brave and land of the free?” In countries such as China, or Japan their government controls everyone. Some examples of this is, you can’t have more than two children, And not every child has the opportunity to go to school. My a brother Corey was in the armed forces. Actually I had two but I’m going to only talk about Corey. One night Corey was on somewhat of a night patrol and a bomb blow up next to him and he was temporarily deaf in one ear. What I am trying to get at is people are selfless and willing to die for their country and their brothers next to them. That’s why we have the saying “Home of the Brave.” Because of our courageous men and women that give up what they are and who...

...Land of the Free, Home of the Brave. This phrase reminds me of the veterans who bravely risk their own lives for America’s freedom. A veteran’s willingness to fight for freedom is an example of how much he or she cares for America. These veterans can’t know everyone in America, yet they risk their lives to protect us. I think about this often. I wonder why some people give so much, often dying for their country, and why others give so little. Some try so hard to make things right in America, when others care so little. The veterans of America are not thanked and honored enough. They often come unnoticed to some, and have no meaning to others. When they are out of uniform, they are almost unnoticeable in their surroundings. The many veterans...

...Though it may have some downsides America truly is the home of the brave and the land of the free. After being discovered by Amerigo Vespucci to be an continent in 1502 only 10 years after Christopher Columbus had landed there with the believe it was India. Amerigo who may not have been the first to to visit the strange new land because Norse explorers such as Leif Ericsson and the Chinese admiral Zheng had explored America not to long before him. He did however start the largely increasing European interest in creating a sustainable European colony in the Americas after years of dangerous attempts to settle in America eventually some of the new settlements would succeed and the hardships of these colonies would come together to create the United States of America we've come to know today with the help of some very important moments throughout history. Now days America is home to so many different types of people it's hard to keep track. Some people may not presume it true but most of these people whether immigrant or refugee are attracted to America not by its landmarks and famous attractions for those things can be found throughout the world but by its sincere promises of freedom and rights. These promises offer opportunities that many people around the globe may not be able to get anywhere...
