    Patriotism is extremely important in America and is a piece of the foundation of our government, since it, as well as, nationalism and American pride have been rampant since the American Revolution and early years of the United States. Through patriotism, the U.S. can accomplish many things with the help of its people, especially when times are rough and a considerable amount of help is needed, even if it means sacrificing an arm or a limb, theoretically, for our government. Today, there are many organizations that were created as a way of helping drafted troops abroad. People can show their appreciation for the troops by sending donations to them for extended foreign trips, medical supplies and equipment, canned, dehydrated, or nonperishable food items, plastic utensils, basic hygiene supplies like toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, body wipes, disposable razors, special products (for feminine hygiene), not to mention, people can also send sentimental…
