America + me = patriot, there are three reasons why I'm an American Patriot,

One my dad is a Verteran of a foreign war with the United States Army

Two I have a long line of ancestors though out American history

Three because I'm proud of being a American citizen

  My first reason why I'm an American Patriot is because my dad is a veteran of a foreign war. He was a soldier in the United States Army. He fought for the United States of America in the Gulf War Operation Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia, he worked on the tanks and missile systems. He was also stationed in Germany in Fuerth near Numberg. He worked hard to get the missiles systems ready on those tanks for the war. My dad volunteered in the Army so that others could have freedom.

My second reason I'm an American Patriot is because i have a long line of ancestors through out American history. According to our family genealogy I have ancestors dating back to the 1700's. I also have an ancestor who fought in the Civil War. Some other relatives of mine of fought in WW1, WW2, Korean War and the war in Vietnam. My great-great grandfathers was a land surveyor in Florida in the 1920's and help settle the area in Avon Park. My ancestors help make America great.

  My third reason why I'm an American Patriot is because I'm proud of my country. People have fought and gave their lives for me so I can sleep well at night and so i can go to school and have the freedom and right to do what i want todo in as an American. I am Proud to live in a country that lives under a Constitution that gives me the to speak freely and freedom of religion.

Those are my reasons why I'm an American Patriot, my dad was in the Army, my ancestors help build this country, and I'm proud of this country and it values.
