USA Core Values: 9 and 10 of 12, National Pride and Allegiance

 National Pride and Allegiance are two core values that are separate, but connected.

National pride is a word phrase that refers to how Americans feel about our country.

This feeling generally stems from the exceptional rights, privileges, benefits and protections that our country has given to the people.

Americans are happy, because we work, sacrifice and earn victories for ourselves, our families, neighbors and our country.


Hard work and sacrifice leads to happiness. Happy people have no time or desire to fight, swear, bicker, protest or riot.

Happy people feel love for their neighbor. Respect others and give thanks for what they have — rather than complain and be disagreeable.

It's because of brave colonists, who defied England, that America is now a free country of all races, creeds and coiors.

Men like John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin put forth the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776 that asserts our inalienable rights, especially freedom.

As 13 British colonies, we fought the powerful empire of England to win our freedom. But that’s not the only time we fought for our nation.

We The People won our sovereignty in the War of 1812. We were triumphant in the 1865 bloody Civil War to abolish slavery and free all men, women and children from bondage.

We embrace humanity, support good over evil in our national voice and actions.

We’re proud of how we evolved as a country. We’re proud of the exceptionalism of our nation.

America is a country of men, women and children who share a bond to protect and preserve our freedom.

America has earned the right to be proud of what We The People have done. We owe allegiance to each other and to our country.  

As long as we maintain our allegiance, we maintain our path for each American to have the freedom and opportunity to achieve his or her American Dream.

Americans are devoted to our way of life. We’re proud of our selfless desire to do what’s right, to help one another. Be kind, gracious, humble, caring and strong in thought, word and deed. That’s what we stand for as a nation.

Every American wants the opportunity to achieve their own dreams. That’s just one reason every American feels a strong allegiance to “Our Country Tis of Thee.”

Our National Pride and Allegiance are important core values that come naturally to the people as a matter of gratitude, loyalty and preservation for all. ///
