ELI5:Why do Americans feel special about freedom considering almost entire developed world has it?

I am an American and I am asking this seriously, with no offence.

During the 1950s -- 1980s the Soviet Union (the only real challenger to American world dominance) was demonized for being Communist and 'freedom' was cast as the opposite.  This was hammered into us with a lot of popular culture and propaganda.  Often 'bringing people freedom' was used to explain why the USA was justified in attacking various other countries around the world, including more recently Iraq.

To a lessor degree the USA's National Rifle Association also promotes 'freedom' as the justification for our love of firearms.

Americans are flooded with these concepts starting at a young age and it never really stops.
