Be A Proud American
Once An American could be told in any part
of the world by the proud manner he spoke of
his homeland and its merits, Hundreds of for
eigners were interested in coming to the
United States after reading and hearing of
the great country, Stories of national heroes
such as Washington, Lincoln, and Patrick
Henry are known in many European and
Asian schools,
The history of the thirteen colonies and
their fight for freedom is studied abroad
with fervor, Indeed, it is shocking to note
the manner that American students are
graduated from elementary and secondary
schools without the vaguest knowledge of
our country or its government,
As Citizenship Week approaches, every
American should be glad that he lives in the
United States, Regardless of its faults or
shortcomings, this nation has become the
model for more younger and older countries
which are attempting governmental reform,
Let us stop being apologetic, Let us rekindle
the spirit of ‘76, How can we convince others
in the world that we live in the home of the
brave and the land of the free ? We must believe
in ourselves, if we expect others to believe in
us and our way of life,
