Answer 3

I agree with the statement.  Those of us who are privileged to live in the United States should be willing to give back by serving our country.  This service could be in the military, working for the government, volunteering in the Peace Corps or Americorps, or working in a job such as a teacher, nurse, doctor, etc.

Answer 4

Freedom is not free. We must all work for it.

Answer 5

just like you would want the best for your relatives or your friends to the point that you would try to contribute as much or more back to them than you gain. you should begin to see yourself as part of the american "family" and think of ways how you can reflect all of the benefits you have enjoyed back to society just as our forefathers made sacrifices to ensure our happiness. pay it forward to show your gratitude.

Answer 6

the actual quote, "Ask not, what your country can do for you.  Ask what, you can do for your country."

It was a great motivator, stirring patriotic feelings.
