Patriotism still matters because without our soldiers protecting us we wouldn’t have the all the rights we have today. We should honor the soldiers who risk their lives to save ours, and the soldiers who died protecting us. Where would this country be if there were no soldiers fighting for our freedom. We would probably be ruled by another country. When I see the American flag I think about all those soldiers out there fighting for our freedom, and putting their lives on the line to keep us safe and get us all the freedom we have. I am thankful for all the sacrifices the soldiers made and being able to have a good education, having a nice home, and even having a good meal each day. Those are the things soldiers are helping us get when they fight for our freedom.
A special holiday when we honor our soldiers is on November 11th. That special holiday is Veteran’s. It is special because on that day we honor all the sacrifises the soldiers made to keep us safe, and we honor all the soldiers who have sadly died trying to protect our country. So even if you don’t know anybody who was out there fighting for our freedom you should still honor those soldiers that have fought in war protecting our country.
So if you think patriotism dosen’t matter, then you should rethink what your saying. You should think about all the rights you have like living in a safe home, having nice clothes, being able to go to school. These are all the things the soldiers are fighting for and risking their lives for. So the next time you ask yourself , does patriotism still matter? Think about all the soldiers and all the rights you have because of them.
