Authors Note: America has been through good and bad times. And although we lost many we did find our pride in being Americans.
From California to New York, Florida to Wisconsin, one step at a time our country is becoming more influential and dominant. Millions of people have died fighting for our country. Friends were lost, families were torn but yet, people want to continue to make our county unstoppable.
Most people would think that only men go to war because they’re tougher, stronger, and more prepared for the tough battles people are fighting in, not only men go but women can too. I’d have to say that all the women who decide to stay home and raise a family are very grateful for the women in this country who decide to go out in the middle of a battle field. Instead they decide to leave their normal lives like getting a job, raising their children, and living with a nice family. Men do have to do that too, but for me if I had the choice to go into war I’d rather stay safe at home.
People are volunteering to leave their families and risk their lives to help save others. It’s not only hard for the men and women going to war but for their families too. I don’t know anybody in the war, but I do know how hard it is to lose someone close. Even if they do end up coming back, you’ll still feel disheartened, knowing they’ll have to leave again, and that the next time they might not be so lucky. World War II for example was one of the most deadliest wars known to man and about 50 million to over 70 million people died. Can you imagine being a family member or a close friend?
If I were to join the war, things would not go very well for me or my family. I wouldn’t know what anything was or even just being away from home for more than three days would be difficult. Bombs, guns, and a lot of violence is not my type. I would not be able to stay alive in the war.
Dying, being tortured, I hope everybody realizes that America’s people have done a great job protecting the U.S. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I am very proud of our country and that the men and women who died deserve to be memorized as heroes.
