Visit the monuments at night for a totally different experience.

Patriotism is expressed by different people in different ways and means different things to different people. Some view a flag sticker on a car or flag shirt as patriotic when they do nothing else for the country. Some don't put out a flag, yet volunteer at the food bank, the homeless shelter, etc.

For me flying a flag yet throwing your garbage out the car window, always trying to get ahead by ripping people off (even legaly), disrespecting people (even those who look different or w/different beliefs) and institutions and looking out only for yourself is not patriotic. Describing it is sort of like pornography.
