Quote #1
EXETER
Remember, lords, your oaths to Henry sworn:
Either to quell the Dauphin utterly
Or bring him in obedience to your yoke.
BEDFORD
I do remember it, and here take my leave
To go about my preparation.
GLOCUESTER
I'll to the Tower with all the haste I can
To view th' artillery and munition,
And then I will proclaim young Henry king. (1.1.165-172)
For these lords at present, patriotism means doing what they can to establish the young King Henry VI and preserve his father's memory. It's a long time until Henry VI can be an effective king, but the nobles are going to try to aid his kingdom in the meantime. At least, some of them are anyway… Winchester seems to be plotting already, if you glance ahead to the end of the scene (1.1.173-177).

BEDFORD
Henry the Fifth, thy ghost I invocate:
Prosper this realm, keep it from civil broils,
Combat with adverse planets in the heavens. (1.1.53-55)
Bedford cares about England and wants it to prosper, but he doesn't have the greatest plan for that, at least not yet. The best he can do so far is to call on Henry V's ghost. Worrying, especially since the next thing that happens is that a messenger arrives to say the French are rebelling.
Quote #3
MESSENGER
Awake, awake, English nobility!
Let not sloth dim your honors new begot.
Cropped are the flower-de-luces in your arms;
Of England's coat, one half is cut away. (1.1.80-83)
For this messenger, being patriotic means warning the English nobility about what's happening in France and encouraging them to get cracking. The play suggests that's a good idea for a patriot, but it's a little unclear on how to do it.
