The question of recurrent items in this diagram element category

The patriotic message is not one of the diagram element categories for which there is a small set of items that are used over and over, so we don't provide a list of them here. There are certain patriotic messages that are found over and over in patriotic texts, but the set is huge. Although there is a recognizable set of stock patriotic messages that get repeated in patriotic texts about any one country in any one time, there are many countries where the US has done things at many different times, so the list is still very long. In future we may provide a partial list of these, organized by country and time. Meanwhile, for people who are interested in recurrent patriotic messages, we suggest looking at the lists of patriotic changes, because the different examples of any one patriotic change will often show similar patriotic messages.
