A Quote by Tom King

I served my country; I did that. I was in the C.I.A., and I served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I love this country with every part of my body, and I was willing to risk my body and my family for it. But I wake up in a country I don't understand anymore.

I have spent my life working to protect our country. I served three tours in Iraq with the CIA, served in national security positions under Presidents of both parties, and at the Pentagon.

Elissa Slotkin

Patriotism, or the peculiar relation of an individual to his country, is like the family instinct. In the child it is a blind devotion; in the man in intelligent love. The patriot perceives the claim made upon his country by the circumstances and time of her growth and power, and how God is to be served by using those opportunities of helping mankind. Therefore his country's honor is dear to him as his own, and he would as soon lie and steal himself as assist or excuse his country in a crime.

George William Curtis

I am conscious of having served England as I served my own country.

Ferdinand Foch

In my generation, thankfully, as somebody who served in the Afghanistan War, would have served in the Iraq War, if called to do so - was also strongly against the Iraq War, from the beginning - I'm so thankful that we live in a moment that we can honor the troops separately from policy.

Pete Buttigieg

Every part of society should honour the debt we owe those who've served our country.

Grant Shapps

If you believe that the job of the federal government is to secure this country, it's really important for you to understand that success in Iraq is part of securing the country.

George W. Bush

A few weeks after the planes hit the World Trade Center, I applied for a direct commission in the U.S. Army Reserve and ultimately served three active duty tours, including overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. Really, my whole family served three tours.

Cal Cunningham

I love our country. My dad served in the army. I always grew up with a song sense of belonging as an American. But I was also in the counterculture and I was coming from a place of fearing the police. So I was anti-establishment, but also loving your country. It's kind of an ironic sort of upbringing.

Mike Dirnt

This is something we're seeing more, especially with patients from outside of this country. They love body modification, they love having things done that we don't do in this country. For example, putting pubic hair on your eyelashes. What practitioner in this country would do something that ridiculous?

Paul Nassif

Patriotism is understood to be that virtue which consists in serving one's country; but in what way is this 'Patria' or country served by slaying its able bodied men in thousands?

Marie Corelli

I went to war for this country. I served overseas for this country.

Mark Esper

My family has served the country in almost every major war since the Civil War.

Jack Scalia

Margaret Thatcher - this great lady has not only served her country well, she has served the free world well.

Ronald Reagan

I served in Washington, DC for twelve years in the Congress of the United States, and I served with many Republicans and Democrats, men and women of goodwill. The potential is there to really change the direction of this country, but it's going to take leadership do it.

Mike Pence

I grew up knowing my grandfather had served our country for decades in the Navy, buried in his whites in Arlington; I have family members who are veterans.

Brooke Baldwin

A writer represents his family history. My grandfather was a senator and my father served in the Roosevelt administration. In other words, I grew up in politics. This is why it seemed perfectly natural to take part in the battles of my time, and to participate in the writing of the history of my country.

Gore Vidal
