To love your country is to be proud of it and to feel that it is wonderful, it is to love it as one loves his family and to try to do good for it. It is to show kindness and to feel part of a people of companions and friends. In love, one gives in hope in return, the love of the fatherland is to give in one direction because it is to express what we are and to act in agreement with that. In his famous investiture speech in 1961, John F. Kennedy uttered the phrase, "Do not ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," a phrase that made Americans euphoric which was transmitted as a shockwave to the whole earth and has since become historical.
