Many people debate about what the definition of a patriot is.The Webster’s dictionary defines it as “love of country and willingness to sacrifice for it.” I believe that being a patriot means to love your country, but also take advantage of your liberties and point out when something might be wrong.Recently, our country has gone through a very tumultuous period.The War in Iraq, the faltering economy, and terrorism have made people very tense about what direction our country is heading. All of these people whether they were for against the action were truly patriots.
