Here is J's paper:
3/06/08
An American patriot is somebody who is fighting for freedom, and is not afraid to stand up for what is right. Sometimes they help keep our country clean right here in our own communities. Sometimes they fight in the army overseas in other countries. Some patriots are old and some are young. Anyone who tries or believes in American freedoms can be a patriot.
My dad is an American patriot. He is a police officer. He protects our freedoms by enforcing the laws of the land right here in our city. My great-grandfathers were both American patriots because they fought in World War II. They served our country by fighting for our freedoms in other countries. I am learning how to be an American patriot. I am a Cub Scout. Every day I am learning about my environment, my country, my history, and the world around me while I am developing a core set of values.
Someday it will be my turn to choose to serve my country as an American patriot. I will fight for freedom and I will not be afraid to stand up for what is right. I am an American citizen and it is an honor to serve my country.

What a great paper! It is so awesome that he views his Dad that way!
I'd give it an A! Good Job, J!
This is off-topic, but I know you like David Archuleta from American Idol. I just found out that one of my best friends that I go to school with is one of his school counselors. They just had a staff meeting on how to deal with all the media they've had at the school. They've had MTV, VH1, and several news stations at the school. I think he has a good chance at winning the whole thing! At least he is in the top 12!
An excellent paper J!!! It's so well written, you're a shining example of a true patriot! It deserves an A+.
