Patriotism

In my mind patriotism still matters because it shows how much love and care we have for our country. Also it shows how much we honor our citizens in the armed forces.

 We celebrate patriotism on two holidays. The Fourth of July and Veterans Day. Patriotism really stands out on Veteran’s Day. On this day we honor veterans by holding ceremonies and parades across the country. In this way we show them how grateful we are for their sacrifices in order to keep us free and safe. The soldiers that fight for us go into battle knowing that what they are doing is to keep our country safe. We should always remember that what they do is for us.

When I see the American flag with its red, white, and blue I am always reminded of veterans. Also three words come to mind, freedom, pride and strength. The United States and its people are strong, proud, and free. We will do anything to make sure our country stays free.

The United States fights a never ending battle against those who wish to destroy our freedom and pride but we will never give up no matter what the cost. I can’t imagine what our country would be like if we had nobody willing to defend us. Our country just wouldn’t be the same.

If the colonists didn’t stand up to Britain and preserver to win against impossible odd then we wouldn’t even be our own country. We’d probably be just a region under British rule. But we didn’t. We stood up for what we felt was right and didn’t give up during the revolution. Even in the face of certain defeat. I will always be thankful for all those men who suffered and died to make us free. When another attempt was made on our freedom we held firm. And in many other long terrible wars our forces held strong to defend our and others freedom.

Whenever I get the chance to honor our veterans I do. We should always show our patriotism to veterans and our country because that is the American spirit. It is our duty as Americans to honor our country and veterans. So next time you get the chance you should pray for our soldiers and honor all that United States has become.
