We're free to express all that it is wrong with our country but we should also teach our children and grandchildren what is right about our country. Instilling your values should not be left to chance. Make it a part of your family heritage to love your country, or at the very least clearly learn the history.
Raise the flag.
Participate in your local community.
Vote and lead by example.
Share media that bring a spirit of patriotism.
Take road trips to visit national monuments and historic sites.
Share your family heritage.
Show respect by thanking a serviceman for their service to our country in front of your child.
