What is patriotism? To me, patriotism is the love you give your country no matter what, defending the people and places in your country willingly, and to fight for what you believe in and for what is right for the place you call home.
I believe you should be proud of your country. I believe you should strive to devote yourself to the county that gives you the same dedication. I hope you feel my patriotism for my country is exceedingly justifying.
America, the great, is my stunning home. I love my country an extremely large amount. “Our obligations to our country never cease but with our own lives,” said John Adams.
I would fight and die for this country and for the future generations’ freedom. America, you are my home, my land, my freedom, and I love you!
Do you ever realize many of the wars we as Americans have fought in are for freedom or justice? The veterans who have fought, and warriors that are fighting now, amaze me beyond what I could ever describe in words.
People who put their lives on the line for our freedom are truly honorable.
I’m happy to live in a nation that has “United” in its name for it makes me feel as though we could conquer anything together. America has many great warriors and is capable of so much!
Equality is an important thing. Some things in this country divide us such as, race, gender, and age, but we should not let that be the case because we are “The United States of America” so we need to stay united.
We can not stay united, if we are going to be treated differently over absurd things we can not control.
Our flag stands for all of us, not just men, not just women, not just kids, not just adults, not only white people, nor only black people or anyone else, but all of us. We have to possess the power to have the common respect of equality.
Patriotism is our country’s standing point. We need to respect one another without any regards to our race, gender, or age. We need to love our country and the people in it. We need to continue to fight for our freedom.
We shall stay strong and united through the years to come. Our patriotism should define us as an amazing country.
