Is freedom free?

America, a free country. What does this mean? Most of us Americans do not understand what advantages we have over other countries. We are so lucky to even get an education, and what do we do with this? Some of us go and get involved in gangs or drugs, but another amount of us do go and apply their skills to school and become wealthy people. Truthfully, a lot of wealthy people in America come from other countries. For example, George Lopez, a huge comic hit to America, he was born in Mexico with a poor family. Look at what he has done with his life. Im not saying all people come from other countries and become rich, Im just saying that people from other countries sometimes come here because they couldn't find a way of life from wherever they came from. That way of life for those people is destroyed by war or corrupt leaders, so many brave men and women fight for the freedom of every americans life. Freedom is not free, and we should apreciate what is handed to us.
