Patriotism

Patriotism is not just getting in goose step with the politicians. Patriotism is loving your country so much that you do what you can to see it succeed morally.

A patriot will put his life on the line for his country, should it be asked of him.
A patriot will set aside his own dreams, should his country ask him to do so.
A patriot will speak out about injustices done by corruption of government.
A patriot, when finding a need, will say, "Here am I, send me."
A patriot will do all he can when the country is doing right, to keep it doing right; and, when it is doing wrong, he will do all he can to make it right.
A patriot will despise the burning of the Flag while defending the right of the moron doing so. (But, if you are burning it around me, make sure you are wrapped in it first.)
