Journal: Proud Americans

To me, being an American is living and being a citizen in a free country. Where peoples' rights are protected through the Bill of Rights. Americans express their pride through songs, waving flags, and wearing their red, white and blue colors. The times where there is stronger, more vocal are the 4th of July and when there's a big calamity in the world. I think those are the times when Americans show their pride the most.
