**Patriotism**

**Does Patriotism Still Matter?**

          Patriotism does still matter to me and I think it should to everyone. Patriotism means caring for our country and what it has done for us.

          If no one thought patriotism doesn’t matter anymore no one would care for our country. They wouldn’t what happens in wars or anything. People wouldn’t care about what happens to our country. They wouldn’t take care of it anymore and our country would be a mess. And that wouldn’t be good because nothing would matter anymore and it would just be a disaster. No one would join the army or any other forces like that to protect our country because no one cares about our country anymore.

        I don’t get why some people hate this country. What is wrong with it? At least we have a lot of people caring about our country. I sure do I would want to be in the army or some other group that protects our country when I am older. I would like to protect our country because I like being protected. I like being safe. When I grow up I actually think I’m going to be in the army or one of the groups that protect our country.

       

I’m glad that we have people fighting for our country. And that they’re risking there lives for all of us. Just think of all the things they do for us. It’s a lot of things and I think they deserve something in return for there work. We should send them gifts or letters thanking them for all the work they done for us.  I hope more people start understanding that patriotism does still matter because it does still matter.

        I hope more people under patriotism now and how much it means, and why it still does matter a lot.
