Fireworks on the fourth of July make me feel very patriotic.
Pledge of Allegiance was created in 1892.
There are 31 words in the pledge.

It's important to respect your country and feel patriotic about it (patriotic means the love of your country).
To pledge alegience to the flag means to serve your country, to be patriotic to it
The Pledge of Alliegence
No, it does not. Mostly due to the bad experiences with patriotic rituals during the Nazi era, most Germans would feel extremely uncomfortable with something like the US American pledge to the flag.
well you're being patriotic, so patriotism and/or respect for your country.

Many people will say yes, but (I'm assuming your in school) you only have to stand and respect the flag or else you'll be most likely commiting a crime depending on your area, I'm from NJ where it's illegal to sit during the Pledge. I yes that is non-patriotic to not say it, but I don't and I don't care that it is not patrioctic (since I don't say it because I'm an Atheist and the Pledge says 'Under God')
I'll give a patriotic excerpt- "...one nation, under God, indivisable, with liberty and justice for all." -Pledge of Allegiance
The pledge of allegiance to the flag means different things to different people. To some it is quite meaningful and patriotic. To others it is useless. It generally serves as a ritual to begin an activity or school day. It is a break, time for a meeting, activity, school, class, etc, to start.
An example of civil religion is the incorporation of religious symbols and language in political speeches and ceremonies to promote a sense of national unity and identity. This can be seen in the United States, where phrases like "In God We Trust" and "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance reflect the blending of religious and patriotic sentiments.
The patriotic band played with enthusiasm. That is a patriotic act.
There is no law requiring you to do so. If you feel patriotic and wish to participate in the pledge, then stand, put your hand over your heart, and recite it. You can also stand respectfully and remain silent if you have any objection to the pledge (e.g. some people do for religious reasons, or for political reasons). Sitting while others stand and recite the pledge is your right, but people will undoubted be offended by this so be prepared to engage in a conversation with people about your decision.
