Here in America, we're free. Now, although we can vote and write whatever we'd like, there is a problem. If we don't like someone, we can't shoot them or put them in prison. You need to be a communist country to do this. Our freedom, however is all thanks to one group-the patriots. You may thank or chastize them, but it was the early American leaders that brought about today's America.

patriotism...hmm..well you can start it off by saying how its a shame how many americans seem to be losing their patriotism..use examples such as
-people not standing for the pledge
-not removing hats during the national anthem
-negative comments people make about our country.
- if this is your opinion- ...how back in the day it seemed like more people wanted to fight..now
there are shortages..not the same want to fight for their country..perhaps talk about how freedom is took for granted..there arent as many patriots
(it depends on your opinion)
then talk about how despite these people with no patriotism..there is still a lot of it in our country..
-you can use 9/11 and how it kind of drew americans closer
-how we celebrate the 4th of july-- americas bday-- to this day (over 200 yrs later)
talk about if you think patriotism is imortant...what you do as a patriot

Read some patriotic essays: John Henry's speech, Gettysburg Address, old presidential speeches in time of war, Martin Luther King, anybody with a strong idea of what they think America should be. Just google some stuff until you feel inspired.
You could just do a mental word assocation on what comes to your mind when you think of patriotism, and use that to form an outline of what you want to say. Don't think of all of number of words.
Interview several people into what they think about patriotism and how to show it.
