Patriotism and the Symbols of the USA
America the beautiful! Let’s get back to basics. America is greatest when we honor the principles on which the United States was founded. These include life, liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness. The flag and other symbols of the USA represent these core values and reattaching our symbols to our real American values is a core ambition of the Spirit of ’76 Project.
