almost all Americans have this
unexplainable love and support for their
country. Patriotism is one of the most valued
virtues in America.

Courage means taking on dangers or difficulties
despite being afraid.
Courage is important in America because of
how much we value soldiers and veterans in

forefathers to declare their independence from
British rule.

5. Justice
Being just means doing what is morally right, or
fair.

being thankful and appreciate to our forefathers very
greatly, both in the distant past and in recent times.
