Mrrzy, when you were in school did you ever have a situation where a school team, whether it be athletic or schoolastic, achieved something and you felt school pride? Or even a team that maybe wasn't the best, but you supported them anyway and felt school pride? How about watching the olympics and seeing someone from your country win a medal, perhaps against great odds? Being born and raised in the US is not something I chose but I'm certainly not ashamed of it, in fact I would tell someone that I am an American with pride. The folks that worked and continue to work in the WTC rescue effort are a group of people of whom I've met none. The one tie that I have with them is that they are Americans, predominantly, and they are people I am proud to be associated with even if it is in a small way, that we are Americans.

I don't expect everyone to agree with me, my point earlier was that I may have a different opinion than others, but I am entitled to that opinion. I am not a war monger because I wave the flag proudly. This is just the type of American I choose to be......
