We can strengthen our families,
communities, and nations by teaching patriotism to the rising generation.
Parents, grandparents, teachers, and other adults have the responsibility to
teach children and youth by word and example the importance of loving and
serving their nation.
I began this blog more than nine
years ago for the purpose of teaching my children and grandchildren about the
great nation of the United States. They all know – even the youngest of my
grandchildren – know that I love America. One of my young grandsons saw a
patriotic sun catcher and insisted that his mother purchase it for me.
A good way to teach children
patriotism is to provide and/or read books to them. I have several books that
are suitable for children and youth.
1. I
Pledge Allegiance by D. K. Webb explains the words of the pledge.
2. The
Star-Spangled Banner is a paperback book with the words of the national
anthem by Francis Scott Key and some helpful explanations.
3. We
the People by Lynne Cheney is the
story of the U.S. Constitution.
4. Rush Limbaugh wrote a series of five books
for children about American history. “Rush Revere” and his magical horse “Liberty”
go back in history and bring the stories to life. He published the first book in 2013 and then
one annually. The book titles are: Rush
Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, Rush Revere and the First Patriots, Rush Revere
and the American Revolution, Rush Revere and the Star-Spangled Banner, and Rush Revere and the Presidency. I found
the books interesting and gave the first book of the series to my children and
their families, and they loved them.
There are other books available that
can help the rising generation to love the United States. This site suggests six books that sound interesting. When the rising generation is taught
to love and honor the nation where they live, they are blessed with stronger family,
community, and nation.
