Memorial day 2015; why am I supposed to care about people in Idaho or Vermont again?

The United States aren't too affiliated too much anymore.

Why is I who is always in Ohio so much and so often anymore supposed to care about people in Idaho or Vermont again? Do I know or care enough about them and people from other of the United States to put on a military uniform, pack a rifle and march clear to Russia to fight to protect their interests?

It's a moot point me being so old anymore, my priorities have changed. Still it's an interesting question.

Can a Patriotic song be written and composed to Unite the United States if circumstance poofs up an emergency requiring patriotism, action and self sacrifice to defend and honor one's country?

People in the United States are United by us all wanting things, it's why we aren't interested in Marxism. We desperately want material stuff and the freedom to pursue and acquire a garage full of Things and items.

Our ancestors and predecessors met the challenge when duty called. They were busy with their self interest at the time I suppose but they answered the call to Duty.

Honor our ancestors this Memorial day 2015 and spend a minute trying to understand their motivations. It's a fitting and appropriate thing to do.
