The atom bomb, man on the moon, and the recovery of the Great Depression.
Greatness is our history and future.
The tree, like our country, is bountiful and life-giving it is strong like America. We pass on to you the most sacred of our possessions, that which has been defended with blood for the past 224 years, the power of the people. Our 5th grade class voted on freedom to best represent U.S. history in the past and at the end of the 20th century. We choose freedom because it gives us the power to live, learn, and love. Freedom is the best thing everyone has ever had or ever known.
