How about my son, a national guard soldier, a cadet at Georgia Military College.
My husband , a former Navy submarine officer.
My father in law , a WW2 sailor.
My father, after a long engineering career making things happen in nuclear energy, Space exploration, and lots of other secret stuff,he and a friend started a new USO.
My cousin canine corps us army.
My Uncle Air force Jag lawyer.
Me ,holding things together at home.
We will never desert you.
We will never leave a fallen comrade.
We get goosebumps when we hear the national anthem.
We get tears in our eyes to see the old veterans in the fourth of July parade.
We thank them for their service.
We know we are "one nation under God" no matter who thinks we are not.
We uphold the law. We honor God. We serve locally and globally.
Sleep well we've got your back. We've been raising american patriots since 1620. The line will never stop.

Hmm. Good question. I think an American patriot would be one who:
1. Loves their country, right or wrong. We can always vote to affect changes if we're going the wrong way.
2. Would be willing to serve their country in some capacity.
3. Is perfectly capable of respectfully questioning authority, and holding our politicians accountable for their actions.
4. Is PROUD to be American, even when we're wrong.
5. Is willing to fight for what's right.

An American soldier, who fights for his country, even knowing he may die. An American citizen who stands by their country, and the troops. Anyone, who would fight, and die for America, for freedom's sake, taking a chance, that because they might die on the battlefield, they might not be a recipient of the FREEDOM they fight for, but so other's can. Bless you, TROOPS! Without you, America is nothing.

A person who fights for America. It could be through words or action, maybe both. They put the country first.

Someone who defends their country.
Against all enemies, foreign AND domestic (liberals).
