About Us
The United States of America is a great country. And we are determined to do what it takes to keep it that way.
Patriotism From Patriots
We are a small, non-partisan group of people who want to celebrate all the patriots who are trying to support our country. Working together, we will continue to make our country better. Which is great.
We want to ensure that everyone in the country feels proud to be a patriot, that this word is no longer ‘owned’ by a small sub-group. We want every American, regardless of political beliefs, to feel both the pride and the responsibility of being an American. We want to change the narrative – one T-shirt/bag/etc. at a time. Please join us and wear your patriotism with pride!
And just a note – all of these items work best if they’re worn regularly, so that we really make our patriotism visible. Given where we are right now, it’s not enough to be a patriot, you need to show your patriotism.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Patriotism Views We Like
Eleanor Roosevelt
"True patriotism springs from a belief in the dignity of the individual, freedom and equality not only for Americans but for all people on earth..."
Malcolm X
"You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it."
John Adams
"Our obligations to our country never cease but with our lives."
Martin Luther King, Jr
"I criticize America because I love her. I want her to stand as a moral example to the world."
Bill Vaughn
"A real patriot is the fellow who gets a parking ticket and rejoices that the system works."
Jesse Ventura
"I believe patriotism comes from the heart. Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief."
