My Hero My DadBy Caitlin Good Citizen
His Story • My dad is my example of an amazing citizen. He shows citizenship by working for the US government. My dad was born on the 4th of July, 1973. He was born at Fort Sill in Oklahoma. My grandpa was in the army and they moved around every 2 years like we do now. My dad has lived in Panama and other countries. My grandparents moved to San Antonio in 1990. My dad went to Judson High School and worked at Fiesta Texas. That is where he met my mom in 1994. They dated 5 years and then were married in 1999. I was born in 2001 here in San Antonio. • My dad went to college in San Antonio he got a Bachelors Degree in IT but worked as the executive chef at The Vineyards restaurant. On September 11, 2001 the terrorist attacked our nation by sending planes into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and one that crashed in Pennsylvania. My father decided on that day to work for the United States government to stop all terrorist from entering the United States. He wants to keep me, my brother, and my mother safe. He wants everyone in the US to feel free and safe.
His Job • My father works for the Department of State and is a diplomat that represents the US in other countries. He is currently working in Afghanistan which is a country in the middle east. Our government is helping their government get rid of the terrorist and help them build their police officers. He is an Officer and works long hours. He will be there for one year while we wait here for him. My dad has worked in Iraq, Romania, and Bosnia. He is the best example of a citizen because he is willing to die to keep the freedom that the US provides for its citizens. • Mission Statement of the State Department: Advance freedom for the benefit of the American people and the international community by helping to build and sustain a more democratic secure, and prosperous world composed of well-governed states that respond to the needs of their people, reduce wide-spread poverty and act responsibly within the international system.

Greatness He will help the world in the future from now because his job is to protect his country, by getting rid of terrorists, and making the US to be “bad guy free zone.” Also he will risk his life just so his family, his friends, and his country, so we will have a better life thousands of years from now. After 9/11 happened he wanted to fight for his country and for what is right for him and for family.
