What Patriotism means to me In the aftermath of the September 11‚ 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States we are seeing many forms of Patriotism.

Patriotism in India By patriotism we mean genuine love for one’s own country. Patriotism must not be misinterpreted as one’s hatred for other countries. If one loves his own country and hates other countries‚ then it is nationalism rather than patriotism. Mother and the motherland are superior to the heaven.

Patriotism is the zealous love for one’s country. It’s like a disease that every man carries. It spreads from one soul to the next like an unstoppable wildfire.

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?

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?
