I would like to see a return and a renewal of patriotism in America with all our divisiveness.
I define patriotism as love and devotion to country. Patriotism can be found in our patriotic music. I would like to see our patriotic music taught to our school children, a new song for each day of the week, a new song for each school year from K through 12.
I would like our music to be taught to our new immigrants as part of their civics training.
Patriotic music like “America the Beautiful” and “This land is your land-this land my land," "My Country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty,” “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.”
I would like to see every day to begin with “God Bless America," and end with “America the Beautiful.” “America, America, God shed his Grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea."
