Why are you proud to be a U.S. citizen?

Lets hear it!!!!

Im proud to be a U.S. citizen! i love the U.S. and everything that it has to offer. If i could be a citizen of another country...i would say Canada because it is similar to the U.S.

Anyone else!?

This fails to answer the first word of your subject......Why?

I agree with Lansbury - your two questions seem to be conflicting. Why are you proud and where else would you live - they don't go together.

Anyhow, I am proud to be a US Citizen because of freedom and independence.

It is comforting to know things that you can do things like take classes to further your education - change career paths later on into your career - or even work on starting a new business while living in America.

Some other countries such as India it is harder. You have to pick a career path and education path from the beginning from High School - and if you want to change subjects or fields it is very hard to do so.

So while my points are business/employment/job related, it is one area that I am proud and happy about.

Leahandlucas...What an interesting topic question... Lol..So what's your answer...Why are you proud to be a US Citizen?

Everyone.....

As for my answer as for why I am proud to be a citizen of the USA....

I love being a citizen of the USA too!

I love it more so that I am here with my family...It's a country where I belong in and a country that I call 'home'...

I love the American attitudes about freedom, democracy, free speech, patriotism, free elementary education, etc....

I love the vast geographical sites and places that are here in the USA....(sings...America the beautiful...)

I love the American flag...The stars and stripes are really cool!....

I'm sure I can think of more reasons why I love the USA....but it would be a pretty long post....

I love the USA...What else can I say...

I do though love being a citizen of Canada too.

As yes, they are similar to the USA in many ways (but is different in ways as well)...

It's a country that holds a special meaning, as this is where I have grown up in and what I used to call 'home'....

And I love the similar attitudes and geographical aspects about Canada too....(sings...Maple leaf forever...)

Likewise, I can think of more reasons why I love Canada...but it would be a pretty long post..(lol..maybe this one is better off tackled in the 'Canada' forum on VJ....)

I do visit Canada pretty often...And I still have ties to such a country, despite being a US citizen....

Which is why I am proud to be both an American citizen and a Canadian citizen...

Nevertheless, I still think both countries can do better in certain aspects...But there is always room for improvement....

Lol...Anyone want to improve the USCIS and the DHS?......Sigh......

Ant

P.S. If I had to choose another country to live in be a citizen of...I would choose England/UK.....As likewise they have similar ideals too...(and yeah, I gotta love those accents too...lol...)

P.P.S. There is another country that I don't want to be a citizen of...That is my 'other birth country'.....I'm not proud of that country at all...And am looking into steps to renounce such ties...Sigh...That's another story.....

There is no right or wrong answer to questions such as this...

As long as one is happy being a US Citizen...Then so be it....

Nevertheless, it is nice to read about why you are all proud of being citzens of the USA too...
