A country is pathetic when we consider singing the national anthem, attending a fireworks show, and applauding a parade to be the most patriotic thing we did to celebrate.

I, personally, believe there needs to be sacrifice in order to display patriotism...not celebration. Not neccesarily military service, but effort in life.
