      America has become so diverse in every sense of the word that no one knows 100% what America is supposed to be. I believe that America is dead. The land my ancestors conquered is no longer truly ours. It's nothing like it was at birth and it's nothing like it was even in the 1950s. Our history, our heritage is now being destroyed. But if we just hold on we can make America something new. Awaken the American dream. It is our modern day Manifest Destiny. We've lost alot, but we've yet to lose our blood. We the people have always been the embodiment of the Union.

The United States was the original nation from which the South split away and Lincoln had a duty to preserve the union. I know Lincoln expanded presidential power and retracted habeas corpus and so did Jefferson Davis.

Socialism is where the government steals money from everyone, distributes it, and makes everyone equally poor. Socialism is all about being PC as well, and making the rich, who worked tirelessly to earn their money, just as poor as everyone else by stealing their money. Monarchism isn't hte same as communism/socialism, they are MUCH MUCH MUCH different beliefs.

I had many a family member who died or were injured in the name of this great nation. My maternal grandfather immigrated here from Italy and the day he gained his citizenship pearl harbor happened, so he volunteered to use his skills as a mechanic in service of his new home, in his lifetime he saw the rights he enjoyed stripped away, and had he been alive today he would be appalled. I love this nation and should the need arise, I would do just what papa Sicilia did many moons ago, and dig my boots in to keep my friends, my family, and hell, even my enemies safe and comfortable.

    MY father, all my uncles, my three sons, my son in-law and myself are all combat veterans. Serving our great nation in the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corp in WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan. In fact my relatives have been American fighting men from the time of our Revolution. My grandsons are carrying on that tradition this very day. I know many families with the same history as mine and I am sure that there will be many more in the future. We love our old USA! To our Canadian neighbors I wish to say that I served in Afghanistan and areas in the middle east with some of Canada's armed forces and am proud to call them my brothers and sisters.

    I'm a US Army veteran who served our country during the Vietnam era. I will ALWAYS honor that old flag whenever our anthem is played. Too many Americans died to keep this country free. I joined the military when the U.S. started pulling back troops from Vietnam in 1973. I love this country and dying for it was never a problem for me. I know that Vietnam was a very unpopular war. Which war is popular? All wars are bad. There are things that go on that soldiers returning home don't want to talk about. This country has been through a lot and we are still going through more. We should always honor those who died for this country. I hope and pray that our country will heal and continue to be a land of opportunity for all people. We are all, afterall, children of God. God bless that old flag and the United States of America.

    As a young American, words can't express how much this means to me. I spend my whole childhood being taught how to pick out and analyze every mistake our country has ever made, to notice every flaw, to be ashamed of where I came from. Even though I know that was never the goal of my parents or teachers and I'm lucky for my education, I had never really heard a word of patriotism from anyone but myself until I was 13 and heard this for the first time. I was shocked to here these words from someone like Johnny, a life long hero of mine, someone who has done so much good and helped me get through my mom's addictions, it really opened my eyes in a new way. I truly do believe that change and improvement is impossible without patriotism, we must love America enough to keep it going, enough to acknowledge it's flaws and work to fix them. American is nowhere near perfect but it is beautiful and I love it all the same. I am a highschool senior going to study U.S. history next year and that's all thanks to Johnny, as many things in my life tend to be. You are a true American hero, rest in peace.

      You’re right. From the moment I stepped into a public school I have been assaulted by a history that only discredits my heritage or attacks my faith. Even my race is attacked every time there’s an opportunity.
      My peers have been molded into the image of our accusers.
      I recognise the truth. That a tree is most easily felled when it’s roots are shallow.
      My people have been extricated from their history and that is for a reason. Because if we have any concept that the nation our father’s died for is worth anything, perhaps we’ll raise a fuss when they try to destroy it from within and tyrannize a nation conceived in liberty.
      I think they’ve won though.
