Also, part of patriotism, to me, is that it means knowing how the government system works and participating in governance in multiple ways, like voting, volunteering on campaigns, going to community meetings like city council or school board, being a poll worker. Knowing the nation's constitution and the values expressed in it and making them a living part of of everyday life are also patriotic.
