Author's Note: This is my reply to the Patriot's Pen essay assignment we had to create. I'm not making it into an essay, just a post.
Being proud of your country doesn't necessarily mean that you agree and are proud of all of the decisions made. I certainly don't agree with our decisions regarding the economy, or wars. Not agreeing with every decision doesn't mean you aren't proud, or that you don't love your country. I feel that truly being proud of your country means that you must have your own opinion on what's going on in life. You can't just melt into the background, try to force yourself to agree with what you feel is a wrong opinion, and believe you can't do anything to change the situation. You comprehend what is happening in America, and being strong enough to defy it, if you feel you must. That's key to truly loving and being proud of your country.
