Tragedy

Like I said, a lot of what is written still rings true. However, (bet you knew this was coming) I think it is somewhat sad when people feel the need to hang their hats on an editorial, song, etc. Being a citizen of the United States and loving one's country should be more than words on paper. It should be something from the heart and demonstrated daily.

Another sad part of this past week was the many stores "selling out" of US flags. Everybody just had to get a flag to fly. My question is, as proud patriots, why didn't they already have a flag to fly? Being a citizen and a patriot should not be event-driven.

Mike,

I totally agree with you everything that you
said. I saw, at least here in this part of East
Texas, gas prices soar. A lot of *proud patriots*
saw a way to make a $$$$$$. Most unfortunate.
I do have a flag and have had. I retired after
22 years service in the Air Force.
