There is nothing I hate more than the birth-right American who feels no need to support or defend this country.

As an American, there is a way to participate. My father’s Navy retirement ceremony was done onboard the Constitution. (after 20 years as a Navy officer). And on top of that, they gave him a flag that had been flown on her. (You wonder what they do with the flags aboard the USS Constitution, now you know).
I don’t know about anyone else but I sang aloud our national anthem in my kitchen while cooking supper on July 4th. Born here, as were my ancestors way back to the first decade of the sixteenth century — at least known to me.

But you’re right, often naturalized citizens are strongly patriotic because it was a hard-earned, self-determined choice.
