Then show how you are an American patriot. Give examples. You can link this to how American patriots impacted on your life and insipred you. Write what they inspired you to do and become.

If you don’t have any examples, then go and do somthing patriotic before you hand in your essay.

Good luck and all the best!

By doing that you establish the relationship in the beginning and then you can go on to say your own personal involvement with American patriotism.

Good luck!

But I suggest writing about things that you admire about this country.
