BEFORE YOU COMMENT, please read this- Today's video is not intended as a political rant. I love the United States of America and fought for it. The right to think and speak freely is the one I hold highest. Some people are taking today's video the wrong way, and that proves how divided we are right now. Can we at least agree on one thing- The United States of America is a great nation, and worth speaking up for? No need to hate me for being unapologetically patriotic! If you disagree with me or my club, that's OK. We don't have to stop being friends because of it. So, please take a deep breath, stay away from the "unsubscribe" button, and at least celebrate with me that we live in a country where we can form our own opinions and take part in a system that allows for free thinking people to run it.

Patriotism to me kinda brings me back to being on duty and the feeling of responsibility to our nation and what it meant to everyone that I did my part. It means that I did it as a volunteer because I believe in the USA and I want it to survive against all foes. Patriotism to me is a very deep-felt sense of duty and love for what I believe to be the greatest nation there ever was. I believe it is a responsibility to people, but mostly to God that this nation not perish. It isn't "schtick", I really do LOVE this country, and not afraid to say so. And the freedom given to us by the Constitution are not negotiable, not even in times of sickness. That's my view. Admittedly, not everyone shares that view. And, that's OK.
