PATRIOTISM - 365 DAYS A YEAR!

PATRIOTISM - 365 DAYS A YEAR!

While in Wal-Mart the other day, I saw a woman frantically searching for an American flag to display. The clerk informed her that they were all sold out. She was heart-broken! What breaks my heart is that it takes a tragedy such as this to stir the patriotic emotions of so many of my fellow Americans. True Patriots do not come with an "on and off" switch.

We should ALL practice our patriotism and the teachings of our God EVERY day, not just in time of great tragedy or on Sunday and holidays!!!!!!

Amen! The Ten Commandments are not a "multiple choice" test.

Very well said.
I am glad to see the American people pull together. But saddened that we forget to easily.
May our flags fly high, for I will never forget!

I just read this post that you placed on here just following the 9/11/2001 attacks in N.Y. Amazingly. It was the time when we as Americans, not Italian Americans, Polish American, African Americans, but AMERICANS, stood together, in one voice, arm and arm, embrassing Patriotism for the country that we love, and that we are so Blessed and Proud to be citizens of, and rightly so. How sad that, it is usually in time of great tragedy, that we open up and assess the things that are really of true importance, and forget the things that are so petty and unproductive. Why doesn't this feeling of pride and love toward our fellow man follow on as it should from these times? By doing geneology, I believe we get an understanding that although, we as people on this great Earth, may live thousands of miles apart, on different sides of the world, we still are human beings, with families, and past generations, and stories of yester-year. We are so much more like our fellow man than not, yet we all try to "one up" each other. I hope that my nephew will grow to see a more kinder world, a more peaceful world, and a more understanding world in his lifetime. I think we all hope for this for the children in our lives. I pray the world heals, and becomes this better place that I can only dream and pray for in the future. God BLess AMERICA...and God Bless all the human race.
