[QUOTE="klmno, post: 378436, member: 3699"] I am one of the many people who grew up going thru drills at school for nuclear bomb attacks and served in the military during the cold war when we worried about getting bombed. My officer that helped me get into treatment and believed in me and stayed on my butt to get my life turned around- I also should mention that part of difficult child's name was chosen to honor this man- was transferred to the pentagon. He had long since retired by the time 9/11 occurred but I drove by there months after the attack, when it was still boarded up. I can't begin to tell you the thoughts that went thru my mind. I love the essence of my country and what it stands for and am more than proud of all who have served it. I hope the citizens who didn't grow up hearing stories about forefathers fighting for our freedom and rights, those who don't understand the importance of placing responsible votes not just a voting for another buck in one's own pocket, and those who never stop to think about what is in the best interest of ALL our people, someday wake up and see how lucky we are and stop taking it for granted. To those who get this already- remember, our flag is still there! [/QUOTE]
