I would simply like to remind you that, although today is a day of patriotism, there should always be a moment where we are no longer scared to be unpatriotic.
This country, and this government, no matter what we try and say or do about it, is not permanent. All empires must eventually fall.
So we just understand that we are not God's gift to this Earth. We have committed crimes against the world, and we have sinned, but that's not what decides our history and our fate as a nation.
We must fight for what comes next, and make it better.
So simply remember to not take too friendly to the idea that we should always back up the government and let them tell us what to believe, because that is not the society we are supposed to raise. My only hope is that we can make this world better than it was when we got here, for the generations that come after us.
Happy Veterans Day.

I'm young high school student on 61 Broadway #2825, New York, NY 10006. I have had problems with my sexuality, gender identity, and place in society. However, even though with these problems, I have still manage to follow this courageous blog. You have inspire to come out to the world and express my inner-Bruce Jenner. That was for humorous effect. You are my muse, flame, and inspiration. I adore you and when I finally "bat" for the other "team". (By that mean switching gender identities) I will find you and express my true desires to you.
