yes there are many other ways to serve, and no less patriotic for sure. I highly respect anyone who supports the constitution of the Unites States, through words and ACTIONS
You are correct, words without action are nothing.
Fianna Éireann (Irish - "Soldiery of Ireland" or "Warriors' of Ireland", named after the mythological Fianna)
In early Ireland, fianna (singular fian) were small, semi-independent warrior bands who lived apart from society in the forests as mercenaries, bandits and hunters, but could be called upon by kings in times of war.
War cry and mottos
The Diord Fionn was the war-cry of the Fianna, and they frequently employed its use prior to and amid battle, either as a mode of communication or to put fear into their enemies. In the legend "The Death of Fionn", Fionn raises the Diord Fionn when he sees his grandson Oscar fall in battle (Battle of Gabhra) against the armies of Cairbre Lifechair, and proceeds to strike back at the enemy with great furiosity killing many dozens of warriors.[6] The Battle of Gabhra also marked the demise of the Fianna.
They had three mottoes:
- Glaine ár g-croí (Purity of our hearts)
- Neart ár n-géag (Strength of our limbs)
- Beart de réir ár m-briathar (Action to match our speech)

I love the Fianna's Motto, as ancient as it is, it remains true even today.
I wonder what America would be like with afew Fianna's; I believe if memory serves me correctly, the Fianna were used mainly in combating and repelling invaders or "Illegal aliens."
