The 4th of July and what America means to me

The 4^th of July and what America means to me

As a Navy SEAL I had the opportunity to fight for another countries’ freedom in Panama. For a long time holiday like Memorial Day and the 4^th of July were hard for me because of the loss of my comrades in arms. I actually look forward to the BBQs, parades and the fireworks so I can get my mind off of my friends who lost their lives which still had so much more in them to give. As free as we are there are still barriers to opportunity and success but because we as Americans, as a people are fighters and we gravitate to those whom we see struggling, we don’t just lay down and except out lot. Trying to make a living in this Unmanned Technology industry I am seeing a group of fighters, they keep pushing and adjusting to the situations and some are just doing it, despite the barriers and they do it because they are Americans and that’s what we as Americans do. We find a way and because of people like those I see in this industry, opportunity is there for everyone. If you service in the military, worked on Wall Street, owned your own business, worked in a factory or in the fields, your attitude and spirit to fight is what made America what it is today. Because you didn’t just lay down or give in and I am surrounded by the men and women in the unmanned industry who are showing me that America is still a nation of fighters, which makes me proud to be in their company.
