“Patriotism: A Commitment to Progress and Unity”
Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?
Patriotism, for me, is about love and respect for my country, but it goes beyond just waving a flag or saying I’m proud of where I’m from. It’s about wanting the best for everyone who lives here and being willing to work for that.
I believe being patriotic means being aware of the good things, like our freedoms, but also recognizing where we can improve. It’s about caring enough to speak up when things aren’t right and doing what I can to make things better, whether it’s supporting my community or fighting for fairness and equality.
It’s not blind loyalty—it’s about being engaged, being informed, and wanting to see the country grow in a way that benefits everyone. To me, patriotism is about striving for a better future for all of us.
