Dear Mr. Rollins’,

            I agree with what you said in your video, Henry Rollins’ Letter to the Young American. 

It is time for us as Americans, to show a moral compass for the younger youth of America.  It

has gotten to be a world of its all about me.  What has happened to people helping others

in time of need and not getting so upset about helping?  Showing the younger Americans that

 there is still good in the world by helping others and teaching them to do the same as they grow.

It is our moral civic duty to help when others need it, rather it here in the United States or

in another country.  Showing the world that there is still good in this world will go along

way.  We have people here in the United States that are leaving on the streets because

they have hit hard times.  There are children starving that are leaving on the streets.  If

only one person would help that could make a difference in someone’s life and how they

 are living.

We as Americans should be help to a higher moral standing and be accountable.

 Showing our leadership and helping others.  We could be teaching the younger Americans to

 give and help the less fortunate.  We as Americans could do so much more then what we do.

The communities we live in could get more involved, churches, schools, and clubs.  They could

be holding food drives, clothing drives, anything to show community support and leadership.

Plus, when teaching them to do that it gives the community serves on their college application.

            So, we as Americans could really be doing more to high better morals for ourselves then

what we do.  I know after watching this video, I am going to try to get my family more involved

in the community and being better leaders.
