For me, Patriotism equals Gratitude

My grandmother was a nurse in WW II, my grandfather served in the Army in WW II, my uncle was severely injured in Vietnam, my father in law served in Iran, my nephew in the Coast Guard and my brother in law was in the Navy. For me, patriotism is showing my gratitude not only to my family members who served, but to the countless others who have sacrificed jobs, vacations, family time to serve in war and peace. Their service enables me to live in a country where I can pursue travel anywhere, a business opportunity, a career, a home, hobbies.
