"Failures are finger posts on the road of achievement."-C.S. Lewis

Overall, America has had many "failures." We've made several mistakes. For instance, Vietnam War, Pentagon Papers, Watergates, building up nations that only betray us... many mistakes. However, I think that as a country we grew together through all these mistakes. Whether it be that we all united to fight against those nations, or we all united during 9/11... There are many good things that came from it. The Pentagon papers allowed us to learn how we can't put all our faith in our Army... Now, some may think that it's bad that we had to learn this, but I think that it's never good to put so much faith in one thing, because it's only gonna let you down. Through all the mistakes we've learned that there will be mess ups. There will be times when you fall. But falling isn't failure... It's staying down that's failure.
That's a famous quote but it's so true. The US has fallen countless times, but one thing remains true, we haven't stayed down. We get back up and fight for what's ours.
