Patriotism

It's Memorial Day Weekend and I was just scouring my photographs of some of the places we've visited that embody a spirit of patriotism. And just exactly what is patriotism?

Patriotism (from Merriam-Webster) is defined as the act of loving one's country. And we do love this country!!

Patriotism was born in Boston, Massachusetts (we visited in 2009.)


Near the Bunker Hill Memorial



A Tribute To Samuel Adams



And up the steps at Harvard University. 

Patriotism is certainly found in Washington DC (we visited in 2009)




The Lincoln Memorial




The Korean War Memorial (these statues are larger than life!) 



The Women's Military Service Memorial



At the Library of Congress 



Near George Washington's Mt. Vernon



The Capitol Building




And most definitely in Arlington National Cemetery.


Our nation found its meaning of patriotism again after the events of September 11th. 


With the deepest sense of respect and patriotism...
Happy Memorial Day!
