Patriotism is love, support and defense of one's country.

 

American Patriotism is love for the Americans who founded our country

And the undeniable principles for which she stands:

HONOR - To Be Good LIBERTY - To Be Free

EQUALITY - To Be One JUSTICE - To Be Fair HUMANITY - To Be Kind

American Patriotism is love for the Americans who respect our principles

And love for the Americans who defend our country.

American Patriotism is loyal support for our very American principles.

And American Patriotism is defense of our country:

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

 

“American Patriotism was the Honorable Spirit of our forefathers

based upon an absolute moral belief in basic human rights

upheld and defended with invincible determination

that forged a great nation, our nation.

It is that same spirit that remains the lifeblood of our country

and it comes from the heart and soul of a true American.”

                                                                                                                         ~  Petty Officer Jim Cava, US Navy Ret.

 

“A principle is a fundamental truth,

a guide for good behavior by which one directs one’s life.

Our American Principles and Values are one and the same.

Our American Principles show us the way:

To do - What is Right!

To be - A Person of Good Character!

And To be - All That We Can Be by Learning and Respecting!”

                                                                                                                           ~  Petty Officer Jim Cava, US Navy Ret.

 

“Our American Principles and Honorable Americans are what make our country great.

                                                                                                                                ~  Petty Officer Jim Cava, US Navy Ret.

 

“Our American Principles and Honorable Americans are the foundation of American Patriotism.

                                                                                                                                 ~  Petty Officer Jim Cava, US Navy Ret.

 

We hold these truths to be self-evident

That all people are created equal

That all people are made the same

With a Heart!  And a Soul!

With a Body!  And a Mind!

That no one is better than you are

That you are no better then someone else

That it is wrong to bully someone else

That it is wrong to make-fun-of someone else

 

That all people are endowed by their Creator

With certain unalienable, natural, rights

That among these natural rights are:

LIFE - The right for all people to Live

LIBERTY - The right for all people to be Free

And the pursuit of HAPPINESS - The right for all people to be Happy

 

With the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

Our forefathers proclaimed to the whole world their faithful trust

In the God given fundamental rights of all people

And a new and free nation was born, our country:

The United States of America

 

The CONSTITUTION of our country

The basic instrument of our government

And the supreme law of our land

Founded upon the essential rights of all people

Is the embodiment of democratic principles

With the promise that those essential rights

Will be respected and protected.

 

To quote our Sixteenth President

This is what that great man said to us in his famous Gettysburg Address

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - November 19, 1863

“And that government

Of the people

By the people

For the people

Shall not perish from the earth.”

~  Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President (1861-1865)

 

The United States is:

The land of the free and the home of the brave

And truly the greatest nation in the world.

To quote our First President:

A great leader, soldier, statesman and father of our country

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.
                                                                                                     ~  George Washington, First President of the United States (1789-1797)

 

“Patriotism is not a short frenzied burst of emotion, but the long and steady dedication of a lifetime.”

                                                                                                       ~  Thomas Jefferson, Third President of the United States (1801-1809)

 

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.

                                                                                                                                 ~  Mark Twain (1835-1910)

 

“There is danger from all men.

The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.

                                                                                                           ~  John Adams, Second President of the United States (1797-1801)

 

 

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

                                                                                                            ~  John Adams, Second President of the United States (1797-1801)

 

 

Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power.

                                                                                                       ~  James Madison, Fourth President of the United States (1809-1817)

 

The best form of government is that which is most likely to prevent the greatest sum of evil.

                                                                                                             ~  James Monroe, Fifth President of the United States (1817-1825)

 

“America will never be destroyed from the outside.

If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
                                                                                                  ~  Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President of the United States (1861-1865)

 

“Patriotism means to stand by the country.

It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official,

save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country.

It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country.

It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country.

In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”

                                                                                        ~  Theodore Roosevelt, Twenty-sixth President of the United States (1901-1909)

 

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, right or wrong,

- is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American Public.”

                                                                                       ~  Theodore Roosevelt, Twenty-sixth President of the United States  (1901-1909)

 

“It is of utmost importance to disassociate the Honorable Principles America stands-for

from the dishonorable and unprincipled behavior of some Americans - no matter who they are nor what office they hold.

For the Honorable Principles America stands-for have absolutely nothing to do

with the dishonorable and unprincipled behavior of some Americans - no matter who they are nor what office they hold.

                                                                                                                                                     ~  Petty Officer Jim Cava, US Navy Ret.

 

“A true American Patriot believes that the United States of America is: A Nation of laws - not of men

and that our principles, not any man, are what make the United States of America truly the greatest nation in the world.

                                                                                                                                                     ~  Petty Officer Jim Cava, US Navy Ret.

 

“If you are living in the United States of America and you are not an American Patriot - depart.”

                                                                                                                                                     ~  Petty Officer Jim Cava, US Navy Ret.

If you, as a Patriotic American,

were saved by An Honorable and Brave Patriotic Fellow American from death and destruction,

wouldn't it be only right and only proper for you to be eternally thankful to Your Honorable and Brave Patriotic Fellow American?

I am a combat decorated veteran who served our country proudly as a Navy Corpsman

I believe we are: A Nation of Laws - not Men

and that our principles, not any man, are what make the United States of America truly the greatest nation in the world.

I believe it was an honor and my duty to serve our country

I believe in God and Country and in the fundamental and undeniable principles upon which our country was founded:

HONOR - To Be Good LIBERTY - To Be Free

together with a Patriotic Ceremony for adults consisting of narrative and song - rightfully and respectfully titled:

“A SALUTE TO THE GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”

Divine Protection - Petrafine Art

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

 

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

~  Psalm 23

Epilogue:

 

“In our Country . . . one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.”

                                                                           ~  General William Tecumseh Sherman, Union General, American Civil War (1861-1865)

 

“It is only those who neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded

who cry aloud for blood , more vengeance, more desolation.  War is hell.”

                                                                           ~  General William Tecumseh Sherman, Union General, American Civil War (1861-1865)

 

“As sure as there exists a Kingdom of an All Just - All Righteous - and Almighty Creator

And as sure as there exists a kingdom of an all deceitful - all sinful - and almighty creature of evil

surely there exists a kingdom for those human creatures who wage war without just cause

unleashing upon humanity absolute horror - inconceivable pain and suffering - death and destruction

with their deceit - with their lies - with their masquerade - with their evilness

with their sinfulness - with their emptiness - with their arrogance - with their selfishness

with their corruption - with their falsehoods -  with their materialism - with their earthly power

with their fake countenance - with their deceiving smiles - with their self-importance - with their self-righteousness

with their twisted perverseness - with their pretense of purpose - with their spineless characters

with their pathetic puniness / with their substandard smallness / and with their pretended patriotism.

And it shall be in this most terrifying kingdom of perpetual darkness

the constant weeping and gnashing of teeth where they shall reign over nothing

spending a existence of insignificance / meaninglessness /  purposelessness / worthlessness / and eternal punishment

for the great multitude of unconscionable and unimaginable pain and suffering - death and destruction they have caused to bear.”
