Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Love of country
• Patriotism
• Appreciation of our history and heritage

1. Recognize America's history and the valiant efforts of our forefathers to make this nation great with "liberty and justice for all." Realize the price they paid to establish our country and appreciate the price they paid to do so. Acknowlege that America was founded on Christian principles and read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
