Patriotism endures far beyond just a single day in July
(here in America), or even the summer season stretching
from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Without the current
threat of the draft, military service is a choice these days.
Some would say that the honor of being a “patriot” may
have even lost some of its luster with the Gulf conflicts
and other strategies of the past 20 plus years. But just
because you may question our governments’ actions, or
even distrust some of our elected officials, does not mean
you are inherently unpatriotic.
We must remember that one of the primary things that
makes this nation great -- our freedom itself -- is the
ability to express discontent without fear of arrest. So
perhaps, even if you are not feeling particularly patriotic
this year, you can remember that, because of this great
system put in place over 230 years ago, we can celebrate
the nation’s birthday in our own ways.
