Many Americans express their patriotism through symbols like the American flag, national holidays such as Independence Day, and participation in civic activities. Patriotism can also manifest in support for the U.S. military and respect for the Constitution. While it can unite people, interpretations of patriotism may vary, leading to discussions about what it means to be a patriot in a diverse society.
