I don't know about other American's, but for me, patriotism is a facet of gratitude. My feelings of patriotism are more a gratitude for what I have because of where I live. I am grateful for these things all the time, and reminded each time I see images of bald eagles, the flag, a US soldier, etc.
To me July 4th is a day to celebrate the freedoms we all have because of where we live- a time to celebrate the courage of the farmers who fought the Revolutionary War, the sacrifices made by each succesive generation of soldiers who fought for freedom. It's a day to say, "Thank you" to each and every person who has worked or fought or sacrificed to bring freedom to this world.

What is your question, dill-hole. The 4th of July is Independance Day, where The United States celebrate the victory against the British that won their "freedom". Patriotism is love for your country, 4th of July is a celebration of a specific moment in history. Get it right.

The 4th of July isn't just about patriotism, July 4th was the day we were freed from England. The holiday isn't just known as the 4th of July it is known also as Independence Day.

It seems to be that way. I'm not patriotic any day, though. And before I'm bashed, yes, I understand the meaning and significance of patriotism. I grew up on military bases and am the daughter of a retired air force veteran.

No, being patriotic is everyday, for atleast myself anyway. The 4th is the day that the Declaration of Independance was signed. Basically, it was the day that America gained it's freedom.

Is your life ONLY lived on the one day each year, when you commemorate YOUR birthday?
Of course not!
You live, and celebrate, each and every day of life! But, you bring out the party favors on that one day you set aside to celebrate, each year, the result of the conception in the back seat of that rusty old Buick, at the Drive-In Movie Show, and the eventual, painful, birth of YOU, by your abandoned and poor mother, who had to sell 'buttons' on the street, to find money to raise you!
Even though you were eventually adopted out, you still found one special day that you think is your birthday, and which you celebrate, with your other homeless dudes out in that dirty camp in the field, behind the slaughter house!

4th July is to remind the little ones .
How the survivors with their children of all tribes of different community all walk out to their Freedom on planet earth.
Which is why Poppy Day which was lost with time is precious to the Veterans and casulaties of war in honouring that Freedom and extending a helping hand to those Freedom fighters out there with Poppy flowers and make planet earth colourful and cheerful too for that Freedom.

Patriotism isn't fading in usa of america. faith contained in the authorities has been fading in view that Vietnam. it is going to proceed to until eventually that is switched over back right into a rustic by the persons for the persons with a useful chief who can effectively take care of, or a minimum of delegate potential to in a position persons who can, all departments below his or her potential with intelligence and wit.

Certainly not! But this would be the day we commemorate it! It isnt so much a birthday celebration or something...just a day to celebrate patriotism.
