Essential Questions

When conducting my research there where many questions i wanted to answer. Such as "how aware are people on the war?" or "What Freedom truly stood for" also i had other questions like "what is the war about?" or "should we even fight in all the wars that we do?" But most of all i wanted to answer the question that has been bothering me since i started my research a few years ago "How many people know what we fight for everyday of our lives?"

Story Behind My Topic

I started thinking about going into the army about two years ago. Ever since then I have researched many different things about the military. I love talking about what I have learned and what branch I want to go into. Then I got to thinking about freedom and how many people have died to keep our great country the United States of America free. This is where my main question developed which is “Is freedom really free or is there a price to pay to keep freedom here today”
