Some thoughts. In the past 65 years or so, Americans have become a much divided citizenry, with self-serving agendas. It's no longer flag, honor, freedom, pride, and one nation one people. We've become more of a nation concerned with self than concerned with country. We still raise the flag, celebrate the 4th of July, but it's not the real patriotism. We've become passive, negligent, apathetic, and centered more on blame than solutions. Our country takes a backseat to "self".
Patriotism is sacred to those that have realized the blessings of a free nation, and freedom from an oppressive government.
In America, patriotism is being redefined, not only by the citizens, but by the very government that we've entrusted with protecting the very foundation of democracy. We're asked to be patriotic and to love and honor country, even when country shames every principle of freedom and democracy.
