United States

Why are the American people so patriotic. There are American flags everywhere on buildings or on individual house?

Perhaps:
1. The Freedoms listed in the Constitution of the United States
2. The basic moral character upon which the nation started, and its public display by such people as US soldiers/ sailors/ marines/ airmen (under the worst conditions of combat, where the choice of giving one's own life to save another's, is demonstrated over and over again).
3. The experiment of a democratic, republican form of representative government which has survived for over 230 years (longer than dictatorships and some monarchies).
4. The multi-ethnic and cultural/heritage diversity of the families who left everything behind (in the 'old country') coming to the United States to provide - working together to build a community and better lives for their families.
5. The generosity of those who have succeeded in making those better lives, giving to other nations around the world, who are in need.

The list has more...

We arent that patriotic I don't do the pleage I have never had a flag I am american

Americans have little knowledge about the world at large,they are by nature very insular. I feel they fly the flag almost everywhere to remind their self"s, It's okay, Yes, you are still in America..

America is not how it used to be. I am patriotic and I stand every time I see the flag. So does the soldiers and people do not stop and think that the reason they have the freedom to not say the pledge and not be a good citizen is because the people who risked and gave their lives so we can have that freedom.

Thank you for mentioning the armed forces
