The TV, the radio, and even the news in print
Tell me that my patriotism offends
They tell me that people not of this country
May have their feelings hurt
By my hat and by my pins
“Proud to be an American”
My wardrobe proclaims
You see I have that right
To let my pride show through
I am an American and of my country I am proud
I had once worked with thousands of men and women
Who wore clothes every day that proclaimed
I am Proud to be an American!
Air Force Blue, Navy White
Army Green, and the Marines Red Stripe
And If you tell us that our Patriotism Offends you
We really do not care
You see we will all band together
And die for the right
For the pins and the hat that proclaim
I am Proud to be an American

Fandaen its always good to see you here. Knowing you in real life it is easy to know you feel these words inside of you. I know others will see that you are darn proud to be an American!

I finally found a pin the other day that  proclaimed my patriotism..and I plan  to wear it  proudly.
