Faithfully honor and serve your country.
Patriotism is the moral virtue that inclines one to give honor, respect, and service to one’s native land or country of citizenship. Such honor is owed to one’s country not simply on account of any past or present greatness, but because it gives life, sustenance, nurture, and education to its inhabitants. We should recognize and strive to repay this debt by venerating our country and its symbols, by respecting its proper authority, and by giving aid and assistance to our fellow countrymen who are in need.
By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled...
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done...
Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums...
