November: PATRIOTISM

The United States of America is one of the best countries to live in.  We have the freedom of choice here.  Our lives can be determined by the choices we make, and this is not the case for most countries.  The Constitution protects the American people and the right to choose.  Patriotism is not about following the current president.  You may like or dislike the president in office, your senators or your congress men and women.  Patriotism is about believing in what the United States stands for – Freedom of choice.  America will continue to be strong as long as the American’s continue to give back, help one another, and know what America stands for.
