"Every week, fewer American flags are flying from cars and homes.
And it becomes easier to rationalize Sept. 11 as a terrible tragedy that happened to the folks in some other town rather than the ongoing threat to our way of life that this century's Day of Infamy really represents."

Sad but true.
Personally I have flown the flag daily and/or had at least had a flag decal on a window wherever I have lived.
Same with any vehicle (decal) I have owned.
Why people would stop now is beyond my comprehension.
The flag is a symbol of our Freedom.
And our Freedom is in danger, yet many Americans would rather show continual support for their favorite sports club.

My sentiments exactly.

I know what you mean. I personally bought and distributed flag patches to every one on my kids' teams to wear on their jerseys. Americans are soft and have the attention spans of chameleons. We have not done enough to mobilize the schools to imbue our kids with patriotism and love of country. There are fewer and fewer classrooms with pictures of Washington as well as flags for them to pledge allegiance to. I wonder if there are any organizations that promote and distribute flags and pictures of our founders to schools. Its a disgrace.

This is just one more sign that Americans are not taking the war seriously … but the fact that the number of military volunteers never increased – even marginally – shows that Americans NEVER took the war seriously in the first place.
