Summary

This quote emphasizes that genuine patriotism goes beyond mere symbols or expressions; it requires active participation and responsibility. True patriots understand that maintaining and building a strong America necessitates personal dedication and sacrifice.

True patriotism is not defined by rhetoric or empty gestures but by one's commitment to actively support and uphold the values and progress of their nation.
