September 11

Today’s military has seen numerous changes that have taken place since Sept. 11 2001.

Why are they so proud to wave the American flag? They never waved it with pride before the September 11th. The only people who waved the American flag with pride was the Military. We stand through the hard times and the good times. As I travel today I can’t go far with out seeing a car or porch out fitted with the red, white, and blue. I must wonder how much time and thought was spent considering what the symbol of freedom really means and the responsibilities to the Americans. They finally realizing what the military does and stands for? To bad we know that after this all dies down the military will still be waving the American flag with pride and honor. But what can we say about the American people? What...
