  • How large of a role does patriotism play in your life?

             


    Both of my Grandfathers were US Navy as was my biological father and one of my uncles, my best friend was 82nd Airborne and is trying to return to the Army, most of the people I know, love, and call friend have served this country in one way or another. I am Cherokee/Sioux and I am well aware of the problems this nation has and has always had, more so than most of the people that have posted an answer to this question, most of whom by the way are illegal immigrants to this land. The fact remains that no other nation on this earth strives as much toward freedom, justice and equality than the United States of America, many nations have fought and bled to make and keep themselves a sovereign nation, few have fought to make others free. Despite its many shortcomings I am proud to be called an American, and I honor every soldier who has fought for that right and every family who has sacrificed.

    I have a friend who used to teach high school with me. She's part Cherokee. She calls Thanksgiving "You're-Welcome" or "You're-welcome-for-stealing-our-land-and-killing-my-ancestors."
