RE:      US PATRIOT, INC.
         REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM SB-2
         -----------------------------------

Gentlemen:

         At your request, I have examined the Registration Statement on Form
SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") filed by US Patriot, Inc. (the "Company"),
a South Carolina corporation,  with the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended,  of 1,670,000 shares of Common Stock,  par value $0.0001 per
share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") to be sold by certain  selling
shareholders of the  Company, and 500,000 shares of the Common Stock
to be sold by the Company, as identified  in the Registration Statement.

         As your corporate counsel, and in connection with the preparation of
this opinion, I have examined  the  originals  or copies  of such  documents,
corporate records, certificates of public officials and officers of the
Company, and other  instruments  related to the  authorization and issuance
of the Common Stock, as I deemed relevant or necessary for the opinion
expressed herein. Based upon the foregoing,  it is my opinion that the shares
of Common Stock to be sold by the Company will, when sold, be legally issued,
fully paid, and nonassessable  and that the Company has the power,
and has properly issued the shares.  It is further my opinion that the shares
of Common Stock to be sold by the selling shareholders will, when sold, be
legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and that the Company has the
power and has properly issued the shares.

         I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and further consent to the use of my name in the "Legal
Matters" section of the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus
constituting a part thereof, and any amendments thereto.

                                    Very truly yours,
                                    LAW OFFICE OF JAMES G. DODRILL II, P.A.
