Patriotism

Patriotism

How do you feel about patriotism? Patriotism is a still important because everyone who and have serves and wants to serve shows it pulse many others. My school shows it every day by saying the pledge of elegance. Many people I can tell don't have respect, I think respect is one act of patriotism, It shows that you listen to the ones who are higher in age or rank and you half to listen to the commanding officer. Showing that you care is another act, I joined civil air patrol and show the class mats drill, me and my friend know the salute and do it to each other when we see each other. I don't dress in red white and blue often but I love this country and do wish to serve for it, which is another reason why I joined CAP, to remind me of what I want to do. To some Patriotism matters to others it does not, how every it does to me because I love this country and no one can take that away from me.

Acts of patriosme at home are joining CAP, NSCC, or young marines or maybe showing respect. I'm in CAP and we do military costumes like the salute and drill. It's patriotic because of many reasons, we served in WWII by bombing submarines, we have sunk 3 and damaged 7. When 9/11 happened CAP was one of the first to call. We help the community by cleaning up after floods and do search and rescue missions, 90% of these missions are organized by the air force. We wear air force uniforms like the BDU's and the blues. We also go by military ranks and give out awards. I have been in for a least 3 of 4 corters of a year and have promoted once, I am cadet  airman  Sam O'Neill. I'm part of the Waukesha composite squadron and we share the place with the army and go to Waukesha armory. We once got to do drill with a army Sgt. When awarded the Billy Michel award you will be 3 ranks up In the air force instead of being the first rank.

How others show it at home is very heart touching to me. They stand up and but there hand over there heart when there flag goes by. Sending solders simple care packages  to make there life more easy. I wish I learned this when I was young, so I would show even more respect. I once thought it was a law to put your flag up on your house but I learned that its not, its patriotism, I'm glad and proud that I have one. But the most patriosme I would say is singing the national anthem or making songs like "god blessed the USA".

Patreism is important for many reasons beyond the ones I named. I come from a family where a lot of people have served. I try to show respect and I show more than anyone else I've seen, I'm proud of myself for doing so. And I hope to live to see the day where every one else at least shows it as much as I do.
