Introduction

From the time America won it's freedom back a little more than two and a half centuries before, America has run into numerous problems. Some being natural catastrophes and some being terrorist attacks. But who is in charge of keeping the peace? Who has the responsibility and intergrity to hold America's head high throughout these troublesome times,and be adept to take initiative to find a way to avert it from happening in the future for generations to come? I'll notify you who, the D.H.S., furthermore known as the Department of Homeland Security.

The D.H.S. was created following the World Trade

Center/Pentagon disasters in November 2002 (National Geographic, pp.56-65).

President George W. Bush, throughout the proceed of 2002) established the D.H.S. through the agency of Homeland Security.
