I believe in serving for something bigger than yourself. All Americans should believe in this but sadly some can't grasp the idea of puttting the country first and not themselves. Some kids in high school don't know who there senators or congressmen are but know how many yards Tom Brady threw last night. People in this country forget that we are fighting a war and that our military consisting of volunteer's are streched thin, this is a far cry from the 'good fight' of WW2 when the whole country was capitvated with news from the war efforts. It seems that people have forgotten why we fight for freedom. Although we live in a very diffrent world than in the 1940's, with all the new technology, we the citizens of America got attacked like we did in WW2 but the drive is now gone and the people have now seemed to forget that. Not everyone has forgotten about what's important there are still many people who believe in serving in something bigger than themself. You can do many things to help out your community or country and be apart of a team. Joining the military is a fantasitc way to support your country and is probably the ulimate way to do it. Not everyone is cut out for the military or wants to join it but thats ok you can do just as good helping out in your church commuinity or doing a fundrasier. But the whole point is to be apart of a team that is bigger than you. Don't forget about running for local office, if on the state senate, Town council, school committe, or any other board or commision, you will be getting your voice and opinion out there and heard. I believe in serving for something bigger than myself and more people should know this it can only bring our country together at a time that it seems to be needed most.
