I am proud to be an American because anyone who at least 18 and a law abiding citizen can vote. Before, only men could vote. When America was divided into the thirteen colonies, only King James could vote. I am very thankful for the men who died trying to make our country a free place. I am proud to be an American because of the people in the military who died trying to protect us. Without all those people, America would have never been like it is today. We would still have to pray to whomever the king worshiped. Today we can worship whomever we want to worship and I’m very thankful for that. I am proud to be an American because we have great school systems and teachers like Ms. Crowley to teach us. Now we can all go to school wherever we want to go and get a job. I am very thankful for all of those who went to war and died trying to protect us. You should also be thankful.
