Patriotism

Does Patriotism Still matter?

Does Patriotism still matter to you? To many people it does but, to others it might not. Patriotism still matters to me because if there was no Patriotism no one would have pride in our country. Although, Patriotism has decreased in the past it still matters because why would we still be here if no one had patriotism.
Our country still has patriotism because a lot of people in the United States are fighting for our country right now. The people that are fighting are risking their live for the others that aren’t fighting for our country. The citizens that are fighting for us right now are fighting not just to fight, but they love our country so much. Most people have family members that are helping out our country. I have a cousin that has been in the battle three times. Now that is scary going to bed at night thinking “Is he going to be ok and is he going to come home soon”? Imagine if one of your parents were in the battle. How would you feel?
Although, there are a lot of people that are fighting for our country right now, the people that are not show lots of pride. One way we show pride is at school. Every morning, everybody stands up and says the Pledge of Allegiance. We do this because we are trying to show our patriotism for our country. The schools in the United States are very patriotic by saying the pledge of allegiance.
So many people show patriotism! If no one had patriotism our country wouldn’t be as strong as it is today. Even though people don’t have patriotism there is a good amount of people that do. Lots of the Veterans and soldiers have patriotism. If there was no patriotism in our country then why would we still be fighting for our country in the war? Patriotism still does matter!
