WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN

The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation.
Woodrow Wilson

We dare not forget that we are the heirs of that first revolution.
John F. Kennedy

National honor is national property of the highest value.
James Monroe, first inaugural address, 4 March 1817

Patriotism... is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion,
but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.
Adlai Stevenson

Patriotism is easy to understand in America
It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.
Calvin Coolidge

And I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me.
Lee Greenwood
