Does Patriotism Still Matter?

Does Patriotism still matter, Is it still important, Do we even need? The answer to all of those questions are yes.Our country is everything, It's were we live, were our friends and family live, it is our culture and our pride. Without it, we are noting. So we should give athanks to all the people who fought for us in the wars. Their biggest priority: Saving us. Our biggest priority should now be to give them, and our country all the respect it deserves. I believe in patriotism because it’s a fact, patriotism absolutely matters.


Every citizen in this country should be patriotic. If not, they don't deserve for soldiers to be out fighting for them. There are citizens of America out in wars right now, risking their lives for us. How could you not respect that? If you can't, that is selfish! We (the people of our country) deserve our rights and people are out fighting for those. Those people need to be thanked in a patriotic way.



All of the patriotic citizens in our country need to thank and show respect for those people who saved, helped, and sacrificed for us. To thank them we can do things like visit them in the hospitals to thank them in person. Or as little as just standing an putting our hands over hearts at parades when the flag comes by. Everybody with a sense of knowledge can put their hand on their heart for things such as a flag, the national anthem, or when the Veterans' do their little coast guard march right before they put up the flag. That is another way, respect our flag. Fold it up properly and don't let it touch the ground.

Now this is my point of view about patriotism. I'm not really big on politics and presidents and things like that. And to be honest, I really hate learning about our country. I don't have a clue about the politics and speeches, they just bore me.
But I do know one thing, patriotism still does matter and it always should.

All of those things up there are reasons for us to still honor and respect patriotism. Without it we are nothing. Nobody would respect soldiers who risked their lives. With it we are strong, and we can support out troops. Patriotism is everything!
