Land of the Free, by Robert Finale

I am very proud to call this country my home; for it truly is the Land of the Free and the home of the brave.

Out of all of our nation’s monuments, this one is my favorite. The marines’ raising the flag symbolizes all of the American people raising a country built on the idea that we can all be free. I am very proud to be an American and I thank God for our country and for all the veterans who fought and died for our rights and freedom.
