Obama defines patriotism as a way of being loyal to not only people here but also "loyalty among americas" he says, that allows us to team up with diferent races, and religions. the pictures on 254 and on 255 represent patriotism but to ones own ideals. They represent ideals of gay and women patriotism, which is a good thing, in own beliefs. My definition of patriotism is the same way of loyalty to ones country in our own beliefs and what is good for this country from our side of giving, can be serving in the service to protect our land.
