St. Herman is the Patron Saint of America and Canada. I pray to him almost daily!
The first American Saint who was actually born in the U.S., however, is St. Sebastian of Jackson and San Francisco, who was glorified (canonized) by the Serbian Orthodox Church earlier this year. I pray to him nearly daily, too!

There is also St Peter the Aleut. To be fair, although St Peter was born in Alaska, it was not yet the USA.
I recently heard a homily on St Sebastian from Fr Josiah Trenham on Ancient Faith Radio. Inspiring!
