Being an American

Many people take the American flag for granted. When we recite "for liberty and justice for all", many people don't actually believe what they say. When September 11th happen, people were very sad because of losing a love one and some people showed sympathy for those people who were involved in the tragedy. However, after a while many people forgot about what actually happened. They did not forget mentally, but phsically they forgot. There actions did not show anymore, many people have no respect for our country, which shows through the words that people say and also the actions. In order to be a true American, one should respect the country that we live in. Many individuals should show dignity and also pride. This country is beautiful and not everyone has the priviledge to say that they are an American. Therefore, in the future people should take the time to really ponder on those words, "for liberty and justice for all". Actually think about what that really means.
