There are many excellent ways to demonstrate one's patriotism, amongst which educating one's self (and others, when possible) about one's nation surely ranks. Learning hides in every experience, but when we're intentionally distancing ourselves in society, books take the lead.
I currently have bookmarks in ten books (admittedly many of them are a chapter or two in), but I spent the past couple hours reading James MacPherson's The Battle Cry of Freedom. I am 171 pages in, meaning I only have 691 to go, woohoo! My natural tendencies when in a group setting lean toward "can't we all just get along?" as I've proven several times when deterring or breaking up physical altercations. But sometimes the answer to that question is "We can't, and for perfectly good reasons. We are right to oppose this inhumane treatment of Sapiens who appear to be different, and they are wrong to precipitate or condone these actions, and people who devote a portion of their Memorial Day to read stories of our times will clearly see we are definitely on the correct side of history."
That or you can grill something
