<p><a href="https://wallethub.com/edu/most-patriotic-states/13680/" target="_blank">According to a recent study completed by WalletHub, </a>Rhode Island is ranked 47th out of 50 states when it comes to patriotism. </p>

<p>“Expressions of American patriotism come in many forms — from setting off fireworks during Fourth of July and buying American-made goods to paying taxes and serving in the armed forces. But some states are better than others at showing their national pride,” said WalletHub. </p><a class="font-bold text-brand-teal" href="/newsletter" style="display:block;margin-bottom:10px;">GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE -- SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST</a>

<p><strong>The Method </strong></p>

<p>To determine the most patriotic states, WalletHub’s analysts compared the 50 states across two key dimensions, including “Military Engagement” and “Civic Engagement.”</p>

<p>They evaluated those dimensions using 13 relevant metrics. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the highest level of patriotism.</p>

<p>Finally, WalletHub determined each city’s weighted average across all metrics to calculate its total score, which we then used to rank-order all the cities in our sample.</p>

<p><strong>Military Engagement – Total Points: 50</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>Average Number of Military Enlistees per 1,000 Civilian Adults Population Between 2010 &amp; 2015 (No Prior Service): Triple Weight (~25.00 Points)</li>
	<li>Veterans per 1,000 Civilian Adult Population: Full Weight (~8.33 Points)</li>
	<li>Active-Duty Military Personnel per 100,000 Civilian Adult Population: Full Weight (~8.33 Points)</li>
	<li>Share of Civilian Adult Population in Military Reserves: Full Weight (~8.33 Points)</li>
</ul>

<p> </p>

<p><strong>Civic Engagement – Total Points: 50</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>Share of Adults Who Voted in 2016 Presidential Election: Double Weight (~10.26 Points)</li>
	<li>Share of Adults Who Voted in 2016 Primary Elections: Full Weight (~5.13 Points)</li>
	<li>Volunteer Rate: Full Weight (~5.13 Points)</li>
	<li>Volunteer Hours per Resident: Full Weight (~5.13 Points)</li>
	<li>AmeriCorps Volunteers per Capita: Full Weight (~5.13 Points)</li>
	<li>Peace Corps Volunteers per Capita: Half Weight (~2.56 Points)</li>
	<li>Trial- &amp; Grand-Jury Participation per Civilian Adult Population: Full Weight (~5.13 Points)</li>
	<li>Frequency of Google Searches for American Flags: Quarter Weight (~1.28 Points)</li>
	<li>Civics Education Requirement: Full Weight (~5.13 Points)</li>

              <p><strong>Decoration Day </strong></p>

<p><em>Mystic, Ct. </em></p>

<p>In 1868, the United States government formally instituted Memorial Day as a national remembrance of the fallen soldiers from the Civil War of 1861-1865.</p>

<p>At Mystic Seaport, Decoration Day ceremonies are set in 1876. In the morning, visitors are invited to the Fishtown Chapel to witness the memorials laid for local Civil War soldiers.</p>

<p>At midday, all are welcome inside the Greenmanville Church for a brief service complete with sermon and hymns. A colour guard will lead everyone to the waterfront, where wreaths are laid for the artillery and the Navy.</p>

<p>In the afternoon, there will be a presentation by the musicians of the Museum’s Chantey Program illustrating the different roles of music on the home-front, in camp, and on the field – or sea – of battle during wartime.</p>
