America means so much to so many people.
Freedom
Democracy
Security
Hope
Opportunity
As a whole, sometimes we take for granted all that is afforded us simply because we live in the US. The Star Spangled Banner flying above our government buildings, schools, and other locations signifies a great deal.
I pose a question. What does America, and being “American” mean to you today? Has that view changed in your time?
I am amazed at the power that can be held in a symbol, and how that symbol, depending on how it used, can instill so many different emotions.
