The day Americans stop viewing explicit patriotism as a virtue and begin to view it as something "eccentric and foolish" is the day we cease to be a great country.If American liberty loses its luster, the dimming will come from within. It will be due to our own lack of attention and devotion. Without patriotism there cannot be a United States. It falls upon us-upon you and me-to take care of this miraculous American democracy, to make it work, to love it.
