Study shows NH is among top states for patriotism

With Fourth of July celebrations able to proceed this year due to the fact that 45% of the population is vaccinated and states have largely reopened, the personal-finance website WalletHub this week released its report on 2021's Most Patriotic States in America, including that New Hampshire is the fifth-most patriotic.

To determine where Americans have the most red, white and blue pride, WalletHub compared the 50 states across 13 key indicators of patriotism. Our data set ranges from the state's military enlistees and veterans to the share of adults who voted in the 2020 presidential election to AmeriCorps volunteers per capita. Below are some additional highlights from the report.

Patriotism in New Hampshire (1=Most Patriotic; 25=Avg.):

• 27^th - Average Number of Military Enlistees per 1,000 Civilian Adults
