I've previously mentioned my skepticism about patriotism. Looking into the origins and uses of the word, I'm not the only one who has my doubts about its goodness.
However, there is a generally-ignored holiday called Patriots' Day which I've mentioned in the past, and it happens to be here-- "4-19" every year. As far as semi-political holidays go, it's not so awful.
Ammo.com has a little write-up about it you might enjoy. It's history, so you probably ought to familiarize yourself just a little so you don't accidentally end up celebrating the wholly statist, government-worshiping "Patriots' Day" (Blowback Day/Consequences Day) on September 11th of every year.

11/11 - Armistice Day - the day the guns stopped, the silence was deafening.
And then it got overwritten by Veterans Day... now i do not mind a Veterans Day, but that is just another day like Mothers, Fathers...
However, Armistice Day was a holiday. One that should be remembered.
What do you feel about this?
If Patriotism is about the country, then it is only good while the country is good.
If Patriotism is about the ideals of what the country should be, then... mostly good?
It is really hard to define this as good when govern-cement is evil.

I would probably honor an Armistice Day... I ignore veteran's day.
