US Flag being put up.

[revil]

I'm trying to find the picture of the fireman who put up the Flag at the (or near, i'm not sure) WTC.

i dindt know they put one up at WTC
i know they put one up at the pentagon

[revil]

could have been. but it looked like the WTC because of all the grey ash. but i only saw it briefly on the news, so i could have been mistaken.

There most definitely is a flag up on the pile of rubble of the WTC. I don't know about pictures, but...

We now wear flags (on a clip id card) on our lapels at my OfficeMax store now, along with the flag that hangs from our store window.

No, not the official, something that was made by Nano and we took on.

I believe he said to use it and spread it as much as you wanted. Nano can correct me if he wants :)

i've never been particularly proud to be an american. never really ashamed (cept for this one time on a tour bus in iceland with a bunch of really friggin rude retired american schoolmarms, but whoa mama that's another story entirely) but never truly patriotic. i always thought that patriotism was even a little outdated - why "buy american" when the world economy is so muddled anyway? people are people, and it was mere chance that i was born here and not senegal. i certainly didn't feel the need to rah-rah the american flag during the gulf war like everyone around me was doing.

watching the aftermath of the disaster, i am feeling a bit patriotic. for the first time in my life, i would like to fly an american flag on my property. americans are odd creatures. they can be the worst neighbors: i think they are the only people on the face of the earth who will blast stereos at each other just to win a pissing contest through apartment walls. i think they are the only whackjobs that will erect a monolithic privacy fence because they are offended by the next door neighbor's collection of garden gnomes (the gnome-freak then responding by buying the biggest goda'mighty gnome on the planet, wasting thousands of dollars just to make sure that they get a gnome big enough that it cannot be blocked out by the new fence...) they can also be the best neighbors. as the canadian journalist said, i don't think anyone else is so willing to give so much to a fallen neighbor, even if that neighbor is thousands of miles away in another country.

beep-beep. i love america.
