Commentary: Our Country, Veterans Day and Patriotism

Veterans, Patriotism, and the Christian Response

Martha’s poem today is on the American Dream.   My essay is on honoring veterans and the extend Christian can be patriotic.  The American Dream articulates the  aspirations of some many who desire to come to this country of freedom and liberty. It entails the sacrifices of those that gave their lives to provide that freedom. Honoring those who gave their lives for us and others is not a difficult thing to do. Patriotism is sometimes a gut reaction based on natural affinity to one’s country.  However, when one critically examines the basis for patriotism is may on may not be something that one should have.  In reality it is a complex subject with moral implications and decisions for Christians.  The essay touches briefly on this issues (less than two pages) and hopefully gives you something to think about.
