Patriotism
What is a patriot, almost all of the people you ask this question to would say it is someone who would die for their country? That is true but is that the only answer. No a patriot is anyone who does something for the better of their country, from making a desk for a child to sit in to fighting for their country. There are true patriots ever where.

October Sky
October Sky
On a brisk October morning around fifty degrees, ducks and geese are flying into the fields and potholes to feed for the morning. Hunters are waiting for the ducks to fly in with speed and stealth but not on this pothole. The hunters have guns, camouflaged clothes, and decoys. The ducks see other ducks flying in and landing in the water. They circle the water three times then decided to land. As they came done the hunters whispered “these four are ours”.
The ducks were within twenty feet of the water when they realized something was wrong they turned left to leave but by then it was too late. BOOM the guns were blazing two ducks fell one of the hunters exclaimed “Double”.
Two ducks survived the onslaught the ducks quacked “That was to close what happened where are Bill and Jack”.
“Their gone forever” exclaimed Tim.
“Well if we can’t land in the water where are we supposed to land” Asked Tim?
“We can land in a field and get some barley to eat” panted Kenny.
The ducks went straight to the field and did not stop till they made it to there. Tim saw a flash and tried to talk Kenny out of landing in the middle of the field but Kenny would not listen. Kenny quacked “There are other ducks over there we will be OK”.
Tim and Kenny went there different ways. Kenny went down the middle and Tim went to the right thinking it would be safer. He was right but he wished he had not been after what happened to Kenny. BOOM Bang Kenny dropped and hit the ground hard. A yellow dog ran out and bit Kenny and carried him off into the high grass. Tim now knows where to stay away from to not end up like Kenny and the others. Tim flew around till he found a big lake. He landed in the middle and nothing happened he now knows to stay away for the high grass and stay away from other ducks. Tim stayed alive for two weeks but he was going to land in the middle and there were cattails over there he thought it would be safe but this time was his last mistake. Bang Tim hit the water a brown dog ran out trying to pick him up. He was jumping trying to fly but it was no use he had a broken wing. He finally got bite and was brought to the cattails like all of his friends it was over. The dog dropped the duck in front of a young boy around the age of twelve. “Nice shot son” exclaimed a man.
"Thanks dad" whispered the young boy.
