What Patriotism means to me! Do you believe in the love for your country? All the soldiers and heroes that are out there in the world fighting for our freedom? The respect and the courage that you may have. Patriotism is like an infection that travels around from one body to another and you can’t cure it with any medication.

Does Patriotism still Matter? First off‚ it is important to love our country‚ but it does become difficult to keep supporting our country. Now‚ in my generation (ages 10-16)‚ it doesn’t surprise me that a lot of my generation no longer understands the importance of our country or its flag. From my own knowledge and what I hear‚ my generation used to stand‚ hands on their hearts‚ greatly appreciating America‚ singing the National Anthem as high as they can. Nowadays‚ barely anyone would be caught

“What Patriotism Means to Me” Does Patriotism still matter anymore? Or‚ is it just the national anthem playing before a sports game‚ saying the Pledge of Allegiance at school in the mornings? Or‚ is it just the celebrating of holidays that honor our armed forces?
