Patriotism is more than a sentiment; it is a conviction based upon a comprehension of the duties of a citizen and a determination loyally to perform such duties.

It takes a minute to find a special person,
An hour to appreciate them,
A day to love them,
But an entire life to forget them.
WE NEVER FORGET!
