They sacrificed everything for America and remained loyal no matter what. They really contributed to the safety of American citizens and the prosperity of America.

Our officials and government is supposed to protect the youth of America from these atrocities yet in many ways they failed to. Though these children will never forget the day that some of their friends and teachers were killed and their lives were threatened they are standing up to make a change and improve the safety for all American citizens and students. They are sacrificing their time, emotional well being and even their reputations in order to protect the country they love so dearly and everyone in it. Rather than going home and doing their best to forget this horrific day and move on they decided to move forward and promote what they believe in and promote safety in America and because of this and many other things they really are true American's.]]> 2018-04-24 13:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/254825890 sierraran5726 https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/254830294 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt epitomizes a true American. When our country was in shambles and many people were hungry and 25% of Americans were unemployed FDR swooped in and saved the American economy and all American citizens. He sacrificed so much to be the president including his physical health. In addition when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and the whole country was so fearful and hopeless he gave them reassurance and put them at ease. He was loved immensely by all of America. Because of his many contributions, the sacrifices he made for America, the way he improved America and everything in this documentary he is the embodiment of a true American. ]]> 2018-04-24 13:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/254830294 sierraran5726 https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/254838727 Susan B. Anthony is the definition of a true American by the way she achieved woman's suffrage and improved the whole country. Today in politics and every other area women improve the lives of all American citizens and overall the whole country. Women are able to have such a large impact because of the women who came before them such as Susan B. Anthony. She risked her reputation, well being, happiness and relationships for this cause and used her strength to win and influence others to follow her. Because of her great contributions and the way she helped so many Americans shows that she is a true American. ]]> 2018-04-24 14:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/254838727 sierraran5726 https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/254839422 Harriet Tubman helped thousands of Americans and her legacy will live on for hundreds of years to come. She saved many African Americans from the horrors of slavery and gave others hope that they will someday be freed. She was the beginning of a huge revolution in supporting the rights of Americans. Like women, African Americans contribute immensely to today's society but sadly they are able to because of the millions of struggles the African Americans faced that came before them. Harriet Tubman contributed to the growth of America because had she not done what she did it is unsure if African Americans would have as many rights as they do today. She sacrificed everything to help them and because of these reasons and many more she is a true American. ]]> 2018-04-24 14:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/254839422 sierraran5726 https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/255287319 Lady Gaga is an activist for the LGBTQ community. She is aware of the many struggles they face daily because she herself is bisexual and has experienced so much discrimination because of it. With Trump as our president there are many more officials that oppose the LGBTQ community but Lady Gaga and her millions of followers will not give in and let their rights be taken away. She leads many people to stand up for what they believe in and inspires all to work hard at what they want to accomplish. She has sacrificed so much for all Americans and continues to push all people from all walks of life to fight for what they believe in and never give in. She also continues to earn more rights for hundreds of thousands of people in the LGBTQ community and because of these reasons and many more she is the definition of a true American. ]]> 2018-04-25 15:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/255287319 sierraran5726 https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/255288305 These Americans realized their rights and duties and this changed the way Americans acted for years to come. Before this generation, they didn't protest or even question the government. These people showed every future generation that they needed to question the government and not blindly follow them. Now American citizens are not afraid to fight for what they believe in. Because of all the sacrifices they made and they way they led future generations and taught them how to be Americans and protest for our country they really are true Americans. ]]> 2018-04-25 15:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/255288305 sierraran5726 https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/255288721 Oprah and all the women who walked the carpet in their black dresses to stand out against sexual assault and rape are he definition of true Americans. They are standing up for change and really following through in promoting it. They are making a difference for all of the rape victims in America and sacrificing their jobs, reputations and emotional well being for the lives of all women in America. Because of their contributions and sacrifices for American citizens they really are true Americans. ]]> 2018-04-25 15:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/255288721 sierraran5726 https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/255289153 Justin Dart
In America our constitution, which we all live by states that everyone has the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness but do they all? There is a constant theme that only those who are able and those with good opportunities can get ahead. Justin Dart fights daily for all people with disabilities to be able to have lives just as amazing as the people without disabilities. By sacrificing him self, fighting for the U.S citizens, improving America and most importantly upholding the constitutions that our founding fathers sacrificed everything they had to create, he is the definition of a true American citizen. ]]> 2018-04-25 15:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/255289153 sierraran5726 https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/255289525 Shaun king is the definition of a true American. He fights hard daily for the rights and respect of African Americans living in America. Many people recognize that African American's need to be more respected and given equality in America after discrimination has been institutionalized for so long but not everyone will be willing to fight for it and sacrifice for it. He faces a lot of opposition and criticism daily but in spite of all the hardships he wakes up every morning to fight to improve all people apart of his race and all people in the united states. Equality squalls strength and by Sean King promoting equality he is strengthening and growing the whole country therefore he is an example of a true American.]]> 2018-04-25 15:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/255289525 sierraran5726 https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/255289609 After 911 and the multiple ISIS attacks that have been occurring in the recent years the American population has wrongly been discriminating against this religion. These Muslim Americans are pushing the rest of america and the higher up officials to accept and promote tolerance for all Muslims. They are educating hundreds of people on their religion and clarifying the misconceptions such as all Muslims are dangerous and murders when in reality they do not associate with those extremists. Muslims are just as American as Christians. These leaders are helping to grow the lives of not only Muslim Americans but also the lives of the citizens in the U.S. We need everyone we can to help grow our country in politics and economics and many other areas and we are stronger united so by creating tolerance and love and allowing the Muslims to have more rights and improve America in many ways they are sacrificing themselves for America and this shows they really are true Americans.]]> 2018-04-25 15:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/255289609 sierraran5726 https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/259093100 2018-05-08 21:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/259093100 sierraran5726 https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/259465753 Click on the pictures when the headings say there is a link available]]> 2018-05-09 21:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sierraran5726/6tmqdthn1fdt/wish/259465753
