Thanks for the great discussion Friday in Social Studies. We were talking about the core democratic value of Patriotism and I ended the lesson by reading the book The Wall.
Several of you have been to the Vietnam War Veterans Memorial in Washington D. C. and shared your remembrances of wall with us.
It is an amazing place. I still remember how “quiet” the whole area seemed to be.

I have been to America a few times and we thought it was the most patriotic country we had been to. Everywhere we went there were flags and symbols of America.
Question: Why is America so patriotic?? Where did this sense of Patriotism come from???
