“My definition of America is everything is at hand right here, and everything is for us here. We have backup here, and we don’t have to worry about any kind of wars going on here. We are protected.” – Becky Stewart
“America means freedom, because that’s what we were taught in school. I do believe that, but I’m not a fan of what’s going on in the world right now. I think if we make some big changes, and with the right people, we can move towards a better future.” – Santiago Vazquez
“America is freedom and opportunity. I lived in a war country all my life and we were so limited to go anywhere without guardians or security guards. With war and robberies happening in the cities, people do not realize how lucky and blessed they are to live in America. I’m happy to be here, and I would do anything to be a good American citizen.” – Hoi Geswender
“America to me is freedom. It is the freedom to worship God without penalty, and having the freedoms that we do have. We seem to take that for granted when these other countries don’t get that opportunity.” – Don Avery
“On both sides of my family tree I’ve had somebody fight in all the wars since the Civil War, and I’ve had a family member in almost all the branches. It’s because of people like that that we have a choice of how we believe, and are not being told you have to believe this way. We can believe in whoever we want to, and that’s why it’s the land of the free. We have our own voice.” – Tami Smith
