Patriotism is defined as a love for or a devotion to one’s country. Exhibiting patriotism in the home honors our courageous Founding Fathers and all of the patriots who fought for the freedoms we enjoy today. Sharing patriotism with your children also lays the foundation for future generations to appreciate what our nation represents.

You can shape the patriotic spirit of your home in significant ways. For instance, we can show respect for the American flag and fly it proudly, we can learn about our country through song, and we can read about the history of our national symbols and about the lives of famous patriots.
