Patriotism can be related to nationalism. Nationalism or patriotism is a feeling of devotion or loyalty to land or people. Nationalism arises from shared feelings and experiences among a people. These may include a common language, culture, religion, social order, historical tradition, or physical descent. The feelings of common background and destiny become nationalism when they are stressed by some process of education. Moreover, patriotism is usually understood to stress the constructive aspects of nationalism, such as good citizenship.
The American veterans totally understand the word patriotism. They have showed love for the country and countrymen. They preserve the integrity of the State and protect it from the enemies from within and from without. They respect and accept duly constituted authority and abide by laws of the land. In addition, they contribute and support public works and services through payment of taxes and promote personal hygiene and environmental sanitation. Moreover, these American veterans contribute to progress and prosperity through honest work and industry and secure peace and order by respecting the rights of others. Furthermore, they fight oppression and denounce inequality; thus, develop oneself through education and to acquire a skill contributory to the progress of society. They also render public service efficiently and honestly and exercise vigilance and fight abuses of public officials.
Therefore, I commend our American veterans for their braveness and love of our country and indeed, they are considered as heroes because they show their strength and give their lives unselfishly during the gloomy days of our motherland. Many of these veterans had experienced loneliness yet they fight on it and never turn their back because their noble vision is to uplift the morality of our country. Some of them had laid down their lives for the benefits of the many; thus, died peacefully because they bring with them the victory they have been dreaming of. What I have and enjoy right now are all because of them.
