American Creed

Expressing American creed through showing pride and thanks to all those who serve in the Military.

By Olivia L. from B. Michael Caudill Middle School in Kentucky

The collage below shows how I can express my American creed through showing pride and thanks to military. I put my hand over my heart while saying the National Anthem. When I see a soldier in uniform, I thank them for their service. I help out more at home while my step dad is away for military work or on deployments. I celebrate Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Veterans Day. I went to honor the veterans coming in through the Honor Flight. In conclusion, I can express my American creed through showing pride and thanks to all those who serve in the military.​
