What does it mean to be an American?
Ezio Moscatelli - Columbia,Mo.
As the country grapples with controversial subjects such as immigration,gay marriage and a war on terror,we asked readers to share their thoughts on what it means to be American today.
I love being an American,and I'm glad to be able to share my feelings.Gratitude looms large.Although I'm not religious,it describes one of my major responses to the question,"What does it mean to be American?"
I've experienced ways of life in other countries,so I can appreciate the difference the American experience brings.I am a first-generation Italian-American.I am also familiar with Austria because my son has started a family there.Both Italy and Austria have elected governments,viable and modern economies and many cultural characteristics arguably superior to ours.But,however free those citizens are,they're not as free as those of us who reside in the USA.
As an American,I have felt a sense of duty to country.I served in the Army during World War II.While there are many ways to repay our wonderful country for its bounty,military service was the right path for me.
"American" can be described in many ways,but most of all it's about appreciating my country,loving it deeply and doing what I can to make the USA a better place.

In America,duty calls
Helen O.Gallucci - Titusville,Fla.
My dad was born in Ireland and immigrated to the USA in 1895.He joined the Army a few years later and served for 20 years.My mother was born in Pennsylvania,so my family began with a diverse background.
My sister and brothers all married into different religious and ethnic backgrounds,but we have respect for each other 鈥 regardless of our differences.
Our father was a great example of what it means to be an American 鈥 as we discovered when,at age 66,he tried to re-enlist in the Army during World War II.
I remember when he came home that day and told us that officials had suggested he might want to get a desk job and serve.Of course he refused,but we said a silent prayer of thanks that he had a very understanding recruiting officer.
Dad's desire to defend his adopted country speaks volumes and inspires lots of admiration and love from his family.
When I think of the accomplishments my family has made over the years,I wonder whether our successes could have happened in any country other than the USA.
History,diversity celebrated
Sue Bergen - Solon,Ohio
Being American means honoring our country's history and its diversity; understanding that there are faults,but still believing in its greatness; and working in some way to make it even better.
Being American also means exercising one's political responsibilities:voting and being an informed citizen,and supporting equal rights for all.
Being American means acknowledging the opinions of others with whom you may disagree.It means flying the flag and knowing the words to the national anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance 鈥 and bursting with pride when you hear them.It means being thankful for all those who have given their lives for this country.
Finally,being American means appreciating its great beauty.
Citizenship brings pride
Dorian de Wind - Austin
Becoming and being an American have always meant something very special to me.As I approach the 45th Independence Day that I will celebrate since becoming a U.S.citizen,I continue to be filled with a sense of pride and gratitude that perhaps only naturalized Americans can fully understand.
I feel pride because I was adopted by the greatest country in the world.I am full of gratitude because of all that this country has given me and my family.
Perhaps the greatest source of pride and gratitude has been the privilege of serving my adopted country for 20 years as a member of its armed forces.
As a naturalized American,as a "foreigner" who has been warmly welcomed and graciously assimilated into this country,and as a vocal critic of some of our government's policies,such as the war in Iraq,I believe my ability to participate in national debates is a privilege that makes America truly great.
Founders gave inspiration
Jos茅 Ignacio Mora - Pompton Lakes,N.J.
The term "American" means to be part of the community of republics from the Bering Strait to Tierra del Fuego that were born of the idea that men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain rights to liberty.The United States of America is the nation whose founders inspired these ideals.
America is the land of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and also the lands of Simn Bolivar,Jos Marti,Toussaint L'Ouverture,Juan Pablo Duarte,Jos de San Martn and Emiliano Zapata.
Love for country shines
Terry Shriver - Ponte Vedra Beach,Fla.
An American can be defined as a person who believes in the Declaration of Independence.An American is a person with inalienable rights and freedoms who believes a government's main function is to protect those rights and freedoms from internal and external threats.
An American is someone willing to give his life to secure his and others' freedom,as so many did in a Civil War that threatened to tear this country apart.
An American is someone willing to sacrifice his life to protect this nation from foreign threats,as 400,000 did in World War II.
An American,over the course of our history,has been someone willing to stand up and march to secure freedoms for women,immigrants and African-Americans; someone willing to let the government know it made a mistake,as when it got involved in a war in Vietnam that wasn't in our best interests.
An American is a person who loves his or her country 鈥 its natural beauty,the freedoms of speech,assembly and religion found in its Constitution,the economic opportunities it provides its citizenry,and the rights we have to protect us from an intrusive government.
Use liberty well
Mel Maurer - Westlake,Ohio
We are,as President Lincoln said at Gettysburg,"a nation,conceived in liberty," and it is that liberty that makes us Americans.
To be American is to be uniquely free.Uniquely because we've come here from so many places with so many backgrounds 鈥 and yet we live so well together,enjoying our ability to be ourselves,to do what we want within our democratic laws and society.Not always perfectly,but always freely.
We are many people,but as Americans,we are one.God bless those who make our freedom possible.We repay them by using our liberty well.
Patriotism alive and well
Lt.Col.Bohn E.Wanamaker,Arizona Wing,Civil Air Patrol - Sun City West,Ariz.
Independence Day reminds us that patriotism has not gone out of style.
For all of us,it is a day to reaffirm God's vision for America,the dreams he gave to our Founders,and the unique place our nation has in his strategy for history.
The Fourth of July is more than a day for picnics,firecrackers and parades.It is a day for prayer for our nation and our leaders and God's blessing on us.The hope of America is not in her military might or natural resources but in God's people,you and me.
On this Independence Day,as we raise Old Glory,be still,listen and she will tell of the price paid for the freedom we have in America 鈥 paid by those young men who died so that America would be free.They died at Pork Chop Hill,Verdun,Normandy,Iwo Jima,Pearl Harbor,Okinawa and Corregidor.And when they died,the American flag wrapped them in love and draped honor over their caskets,on land and on the seas.
They're buried in Flanders Field in France,the Punchbowl in Hawaii,on the outskirts of Manila and in so many other places.Old Glory flies proudly over their graves at all these places,praying that wars might end forever.
Happy Fourth of July,and God bless America.
