One of the youth in my life recently asked what true patriotism means to me and how she can cultivate this in her life.  What a question, right? 

My answer:  True patriotism is the willingness to do whatever it takes to make this country better for ourselves and others.  Even when the times get hard, abs they do, you stay the course because the results you seek benefit the country.  People who love their country can change, and it starts with each and everyone of us. 

Youth are watching us and they in turn being watched by generations after them.  Therefore, we MUST lead by example in order to raise patriotic children for the sake of our countries’ and continent’s development.
