Patriotism

Is Patriotism alive and well in the Show-Me State? A new ranking claims Missouri is not even a Top 20 Most Patriotic State in the US, did they get it right? Here are the details...

There's not enough honor in the world today. There, I said it. However, there is hope among us as a security camera video shows a delivery driver in the Midwest see a broken American flag mount, fix it then salute it.

If you value patriotism, you need to see what many believe is the most patriotic silo in America and you won't have to travel far because it's in Missouri.

Would you consider Missouri or Illinois more patriotic? A new study claims to use science to show that the Show Me State is more red, white and blue than the Land of Lincoln. Let's see if you agree with their findings.

My dad used to tell me that you can judge a person's character by what they do when nobody's watching. By that measure, this delivery driver has great character as he found a family's American flag fallen and proceeded to fix it and then saluted it.

If you'd like to have some of your faith restored in humanity, pay attention to a great deed that happened in New London today. A veteran's flag pole had fallen, but his neighbors quickly came to his rescue.

Depending upon your outlook, that headline may anger, disappoint, and/or depress you; or you may feel like Samuel Johnson felt in April of 1775 when he said "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel."

What is it about the Olympics? Every two years we Americans get our patriotism recharged when these game roll around. We may not have any idea who the person is but, if they are on the USA team, we pull and pull hard for them to win.
