The most important way to stop this erosion is to ensure that the next generation understands what the American Flag represents. I believe that the American Flag is more than just a three foot by five foot red white and blue piece of material. We need to remind our children as well as ourselves that the American Flag is more than this. It represents not only the freedoms and liberties that we sometimes take for granted, but also all of the true American Heroes that have served underneath it. The flag represents the soldiers that have fought at home and abroad to ensure that we retain the very freedoms that allow us to protest the wars that they are fighting.
Linking back to one of the first points raised, this is quite similar to the mateship the ANZACs showed during WWI and continued well after WWII. This once again impacts the audience to believe that mateship is a part of Australian identity no matter what class you come/originate
INTRODUCTION A. Attention Grabber & Introduction statement: Our national flag, the epitome of our democracy, we all fly it with pride. It symbolizes so many great aspects of our freedom, but yet nothing more symbolic than how it represents the ultimate sacrifice paid by our men and women in uniform. The flag reminds us of the rights, privileges, and freedoms we so dearly enjoy today. Lest we forget our service members for they paid the final costs.
They kept us safe, sacrificing their lives to save ours. We are a better country for what our veterans, active-duty military, and their families sacrifice—but we do no good if we do not distinguish the continuing strains of war once our service members return home. Our work is not done—and will continue long after all troops come home. But today, we are reminded to never forget why veterans are important to
They have reclaimed the dignity attached with this traditional art form and, in the process has increased its recognition as an icon of New Zealand. . The Haka has come to symbolize the power of the All Blacks and their status in the world of rugby. The team leaves an impression of invincibility and ruthlessness. That impression is in no small part due to the potency with which the All Blacks perform the Haka.
Paul Keating’s speech “funeral service of the unknown soldier” (1993) was presented on Armistice Day in order for Australians unite and learn as a country by commemorating and reflecting the sacrifices thousands of Australians who have lost their lives in war. Keating addresses the need for unity and how we need to strive for peace. The speech being televised made it easily accessible to all Australians so that he would not isolate anyone rather as a means to unite. Keating emphasises on unity in ‘stick together’, ‘have bonds of mateship’ as a prime minister he is expected to speak in a formal manner but the use colloquial language invites the audience to not only establish a relationship with himself but also each other.

Proud to be an American Journal “America the Beautiful.” This song, even more than “The Star-Spangled Banner,” encapsulates what I love about being an American. “Oh beautiful for spacious skies…for purple mountain’s majesties…America, America, God shed His grace on thee/And crown thy good with brotherhood/From sea to shining sea.” I’ll take that over bombs any day. An American to me is someone who is willing to fight for and defend our country, someone who will fly our flag high, without any type of indignity, someone who is honest and cares for the welfare of our people. Most of all, an American has to have pride and faith in all that our country does, participating in activities that can only improve us as a unified nation. I am
Australian multiculturalism embraces the heritage of indigenous Australians, early European settlement, our Australian-grown customs and traditions and experiences of new migrants coming to this country; and promotes mutual respect and equality, aiming to enhance social structure and Australia’s capacity to survive both external and domestic tensions. Therefore, students need to understand the significance of Australian diverse culture. For instance looking at Australia Day, why we celebrate it and the importance of it to our country. The millions of migrants who have come to Australia contributed much to a uniquely, Australian
Let me first point out that your handwriting is flawless! You have done well as a self-taught. I do hope that this letter reaches you in good health Hassan. I can’t imagine how you can get letters in and out of Afghanistan anymore. As do I Hassan, I do dream the things you dream for the future of Afghanistan, especially when once again Kites can finally fly in the sky freely once more.
Military and Public Safety protect our everyday lives, while Teachers are the ones that give us the knowledge we need for everyday life. Military personnel definitely are the most heroic figure in my eyes. While people are here in American living the good life, we have soldiers fighting for our freedom, putting their lives on the line. Having two years in the National Guard, I have not had a chance yet at deployment. However, at all times I stand ready to accept the fact that I could receive that phone call telling me to pack my bags, I am being deployed.
