Where has the “Land of the Brave, Home of the Free” gone?
In grade school, we are indoctrinated to believe we are a great nation. We thought we had freedom; we imagined we were a land of heroes. What is happening to us?
Where has the “Land of the Brave, Home of the Free” gone?
From the fervent recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance in grade school classrooms to the grandiose fireworks of the Fourth of July, the ethos of America as the “Land of the Brave, Home of the Free” has been etched deeply into the national consciousness.
It’s a narrative that speaks to the core of the American dream, promising freedom, opportunity, and justice for all.
