pride?

after thinking about this assignment for a while i decided to take this because it is the only flag i could i find in my house as it stands. it is perched precariously on the top of a seldom used cabinet and tucked under some rolled up rugs. though it only comes out of its place to see the light of day possibly twice a year, I'd still say my family and i are pretty patriotic. For example, both my parents, as well as my 22 year old sister, vote at nearly ever election that is held; national as well as local. Also, they are very in tune to America's political frequency, and read up before voting, opposed to just voting for no real reason. Just because you can't see stars and stripes on someone's mugs and napkins doesn't mean that are are any less patriotic than any one else.
