✊ What have YOU done for YOUR country? ✊
Forums › General Discussion › ✊ What have YOU done for YOUR country? ✊-
With the general theme of self entitlement on the forums lately I thought I'd make a post asking the exact opposite, not what your country can do for you, but what you have done for your country.
Where you're from, what country you're referring to, race, gender, political affiliation, none of this matters, just post here what you have done to help make/preserve the rights that you currently enjoy.

I'll start it off. After realizing college wasn't for me at the ripe age of 19 I enlisted in the US Air Force. I served seven years and decided to get out in 2000 to pursue an IT career in the private sector. After the 9/11 attacks i realized i still had more to give so I joined the State Dept, my current job and retirement career. Since joining I've lived in three Muslim Countries and traveled to multiple others (to include the West Coast of Africa) for work.
I did, and currently do, all this as I feel I need to do my part to keep my adopted nation what I consider to be the greatest on the planet. ✊

I also work with the Dept of State in a technical field. I have regularly traded the comforts of the first world for the opportunities to aid and assist in the third world. My parents were involved in the civil rights movement of the 60s. Therefore I have participated in every election since turning 18. -
I always vote, am politically active in a cause important to me (stem cell research advocate), and active in several non profits serving my local community.

note: I do realize that any small contributions I have made are ridiculously insignificant and have little to do with protecting our freedoms. especially when compared with those who serve in the armed forces. ☺
thanks to each of u! ❤❤❤

I pay a shed load of tax each month to support people who have no intention of gettin a job so they can drink cheap beer! Also contribute to housing massive families that refuse to work but say they need the house and to kick em out is against their human rights! England is fucked up!
People that can work should work! If we stop the money they will quickly find a job! This only applies to the jeremy Kyle types! ✌ -

I served in the Swedish armed forces in my youth. It was mandatory conscription, but I decided to do regular service and not be a conscientious objector because I felt that I could not expect others to bear arms to protect me and then not do it myself.
In more recent years, I've moved around a lot with a wife in the Navy.

I actively vote--meaning I research my options and choose my candidates based on all the information I can gather.
In 2009 I, along with seven friends, started a not for profit organization that coordinates efforts in our community and a few in the greater Houston area to help underprivileged people with various needs. We are also working to help communities in need in other countries drill water wells in areas that don't have fresh water. I didn't do that alone but it's pretty cool to be a part of.

I haven't served in the US forces, but I do my best to support them. I donate to a drive "Supplies for Soldiers", collecting used men's clothes, new socks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, soap, shampoo etc.
