what my country means to me

When I think of my county, the United States of America, many different things come to mind. The most important over all thought is that of freedom. There are many different freedoms in the United States. These include the right to bear arms; the right to a quick and speedy trial: due process rights and others as written into our body of laws. These freedoms can spur other rights and abilities to make free choices. …

…Without the ability to speak and worship freely we could not be free to live and to choose; we would be limited in our ability to grow and develop; and we could no pursue our dreams and desires. America allows us the opportunity to live free and prosper; to raise our families; to live peacefully; and to speak our thoughts about government or our God in a land without the threat of punishment or censorship.
