July 4th is a few days away. I thought this question was timely. I am very proud to be an American because I am granted the freedom to openly express my personal beliefs and opinions. If they
differ from my friends or neighbor’s, that’s okay, because it’s the culmination of
these differences combined with respect is what makes our nation great. I can have friends who are from diverse backgrounds and hold diverse beliefs. We can express those beliefs and openly carry the banner - whether that be homosexual, Atheist, Christian, Scientology, Pagan, democrat, republican, etc., etc.

I am proud to be an American because we are a country willing to defend human rights inside and outside our country. We may not agree on the how to’s, but I am so
thankful for the men and women who have fought and continue to fight to protect our independence and to prevent human suffering around the world.
Our country isn't perfect by any means. But nevertheless, it is a great nation and one I will never take for granted.
