America means family to me because I could be going on an adventure or a trip but it wont be as fun with out my family. When Im sad or upset my family helps cheer me up. Also my family takes care of me and stands up for me. They also provide shelter, food, and happiness to me I dont know what I would do without them. People have family from all over U.S. and maybe only see them once a year and some people would give a lot to see a loved one who passed away. Family’s my answer.
