I am going to tell you about freedom. Freedom means all people are equal. Freedom means you can follow your dreams. Freedom means you can trap, shoot and fish. Overall that is what freedom means to me.

If I could choose to serve our country, I would like to be in the Marine Corps. I think it would be fun to be in the Marine Corps because you would get to go to a lot of places. You would also get to do a few fun things, but there would be some things that are not very fun also. Marines are responsible for delivering task forces on land, at sea, and in the air. Marines work closely with the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Those are the reasons I would want to be in the Marine Corps!
