Many people consider celebrities as their heroes. The real heroes are the people who risked their lives for others on September 11th. Those people showed patriotism. So did the people that stopped one of the planes from crashing into the White House.
Anyone can be a patriot. Patriots are people who express love for their country. It was an extremely cowardly act terrorists preformed. And now while people are rebuilding their lives, many people are showing patriotism.
We have the choice to do what we want to do. We can go to any water fountain we want. We can grow a beard has long has we want. We have the right to vote for anybody we want. We have the right to show our faces in public.
In the United States of America all of the people are free, not just a couple of people. All of us are free to do things. We have the rights to say what we want to say in public.
